I’ve been a user of nagios for about 8 years, and just recently transitioned to check_mk.
My question is this:
Is there anything built in to check_mk to allow checking status on linux services? We have a few servers here that would greatly benefit from keeping an eye on certain services to see if they have crashed, didn’t startup on reboot, etc.
I see that there is a mechanism for checking Windows service status, as well as processes on linux, but I haven’t found anything for checking Linux services specifically. I did, however, find this plugin in the nagios exchange that appears to do exactly what
I’m after here:
