10.3.5 Configure selected Network Hosts for Nagios monitoring

The individual Network Hosts connected to the Console Server that is to be monitored must also be configured for Nagios
checks:
• Select Serial & Network: Network Port and click Edit on the Network Host to be monitored
• Select Enable Nagios, specify the name of the device as it will appear on the upstream Nagios server
• Click New Check to add a specific check which will be run on this host
• Select Check Permitted TCP/UDP to monitor a service that you have previously added as a Permitted Service
• Select Check TCP/UDP to specify a service port that you wish to monitor, but do not wish to allow external (SDT
Connector) access
• Select Check TCP to monitor
• The Nagios Check nominated as the check-host-alive check is used to determine whether the network host itself is up
or down
• Typically this will be Check Ping – although in some cases the host will be configured not to respond to pings
• If no check-host-alive check is selected, the host will always be assumed to be up
• You may deselect check-host-alive by clicking Clear check-host-alive
• If required, customize the selected Nagios Checks to use custom arguments
• Click Apply
