Thoughts and suggestions welcome as I am still trying to figure PRTG out. I am using the SNMP Process monitor on a Linux server. Looking at PRTG Enterprise to have unlimited core servers but that too leads me trying to figure out how to architect this and not to mention migrate systems over from Nagios based monitoring to PRTG. Why Linux performance monitoring is a must. I am monitoring some processes that say they use up 98 of CPU, however on the monitored server. Is there something else that needs to be done so I am alerted if and when this process is stopped?Īnyone else using PRTG to monitor around 2700 hosts? In the current Nagios based system I have about 2700 hosts with about 20000 service checks and trying to figure out how well this is going to work. I found this which gets a service included but if I stop the service it still remains the same and not alerts. I will have hundreds of servers and trying to stay away from agents or user accounts thus SNMP fits the bill. The only problem I am having is getting a Linux process/service to get monitored with SNMP. Once the packages are installed, you will need to create a MRTG configuration file. This includes the Apache web server, the Perl scripting language, and the RRDtool package. Since PRTG is widely used to monitor Linux devices, we are planning to expand our portfolio with a so-called multi-platform probe for PRTG Network Monitor to simplify the monitoring of network areas where a Windows probe is not suitable. The first step is to install the required packages and libraries. Extract the archive to your PRTG program directory.Download the required zip archive here. Configuring MRTG on Linux can be a complex process, but it can be done step by step. During my testing so far most of what I am monitoring for Windows and Linux servers are going alright. By default, this is Program Files (x86)PRTG Network Monitor. I am in the process of migrating away from Nagios/Nagios XI/OP5 Monitor to use PRTG.
