is there a way in Hosmonnitor to interact with rpc.rstatd ?
thanks
Linux rpc.rstatd
Unfortunately I don't know how exactly rpc.rstatd works and what protocols does it support.
How do you get statistics on unix system? Using "rup" utility? Then you may use the same utility, RMA and simple script to retrieve information from the system.
You may install RMA on Linux, FreeBSD or Solaris system and setup Shell Script test method to run "rup" utility and parse result.

Shell Script: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... m#chkShell

Thanks !
In fact, I only need to get stat from ours Linux servers (CPU, Mem, Disk, Network). I saw that we can get that from rstatd but I'm very novice in Linux (12 years of Windows and 12 day of Linux
) so if there is other methods, i'm very open ...
Also, maybe it's help to know that what we try to do is to monitor our VMware host which is on a Linux server. We want to know is we can add more VM our if our server is already near it capacity. So maybe I don't go in the right direction with rstatd ...
I'm trying to use SNTP now, hoping that Linux send the right traps. Hum, Linux and SNTP, I'm so away from Microsoft World

You may receive information about CPU load, free memory, free space without using rstatd - use CPU Usage, UNC and Shell Script test methodsIn fact, I only need to get stat from ours Linux servers (CPU, Mem, Disk, Network).
Also you may use SNMP Get test methodI'm trying to use SNTP now, hoping that Linux send the right traps.
