After messing with it for wayy too long last night/this morning/this afternoon. I’ve got a limited form of Nagios setup. I’ve got it reading local services and is able to check publicly available remote services (ping etc) I have some serious problems with the documentation. It’s not very clear the location for various configuration directives. On top of which it doesn’t give a full list of commands and command directives.. Not too mention problems constructing a template.

Even better…one of the plugins that was supposed to run remotely on one of my FreeBSD boxes says “To run FOO without inetd consult the local SECURITY doc” … Sure fine. Except for there’s not a SECURITY doc inside the tarball.. blah

it works which is an accomplishment but doesn’t work exactly to my specs so it’s frustrating.

I’m setting up Nagios (formally netsaint) http://www.nagios.org/ to keep track of all of my IP devices.. It’s pretty sweet. Will email you if something doesn’t respond.. Good way for network management. It’s slightly overkill for my small network but it’s practice for deployment on a larger network

Also thinking about tackling Snort.. I really want an IDS but jesus. it’s intimidating
