Figure 6-5. Nagios Service Problems View Nagios Service Problems View
Both views offer color coding so that you can detect problems at a glance.
Note
The term Hosts on the Nagios window refers to any entity with an IP address, not just nodes.
For example, Nagios monitors the four nodes and two switches in an HP XC system, and reports on the
status of six hosts. SFS is also an example of a Nagios host; Nagios finds the name of the SFS server and
displays its data.
Keep this in mind when using the Nagios application.
The HP XC System Software provides plug-ins that monitor these and other system statistics.
Ensure that the following services are available:
• httpd
The Nagios application continues to run even if this service is stopped, but you will not be able to use
the Web interface.
• nagios
• supermon
The Nagios application continues to run, but it is unable to gather supermon metrics without this
service.
• mond
The Nagios application continues to run, but it is unable to gather supermon metrics without this
service.
