Alex,
I know I'm gonna sound stupid on this one but here goes: Is it possible to use RMA for Windows to monitor our Debian Linux servers? If not, is the only way to monitor those servers by installing RMA for UNIX?
- Ping
- Diskspace
- Free memory
- Process
- CPU Usage
- Network traffic
Another question: How does the RMA for UNIX communicate with the monitored servers? By SNMP?
Regards,
Arend
Monitoring Debian Linux servers
Windows RMA may ping UNIX systems, monitor TCP services and send SNMP requests, but it cannot retrieve list of processes, check free memory and so on (of course some of such information can be retrieved by SNMP requests if you have SNMP sevrice running).Is it possible to use RMA for Windows to monitor our Debian Linux servers
If you share drive on UNIX system and you have appropriate network client installed on Windows system, Windows RMA will be able to monitor files, folders, free space.
Its not only way, but its most logical way.If not, is the only way to monitor those servers by installing RMA for UNIX?
Everything depends on test method - Ping test uses ICMP protocol, TCP test uses TCP protocol, UDP test uses UDP protocol, UNC test method may use different network protocols, it depends on network clients installed on local and remote systems. Process, CPU Usage tests uses standard UNIX utilities (like ps) to retrieve information from local system, so no network protocol involved here.How does the RMA for UNIX communicate with the monitored servers?
