Who knew integrating Gentoo specific metrics was this easy - just |
9 |
download some scripts and integrate them ;-) |

Well, I've somewhat finished what I could do for the Nagios guide. |
12 |
Although it does talk about remote system integration (using |
13 |
check_nrpe and a quick pointer on passwordless SSH) it definitely |
14 |
needs some more lovin' on this behalf. |

At this moment, I'm waiting for Nagios 3 to become stable on Gentoo so |
17 |
that I can rerun the guide over again on a clean install (to make sure |
18 |
no errors are in it) but please, everybody with some experience with |
19 |
Nagios and some free time, take a look at the document |
20 |
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/nagios-guide.xml) and add in some |
21 |
paragraphs on topics you want to see added as well. |
22 |
|
23 |
Dertobi wanted to see a chapter on extending the installation - if you |
24 |
have a few pointers I don't mind taking a stab at this as well. |
