Jumpbox do a VMWare nagios "appliance" if you are running ESX or vSphere you might need to import the image, quite straightforward really if you need any help with it let me know

There is also - http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/343

 

[McBunny]

i have to pay for that though

 

[Homer-Simpson]

Then set one up yourself, it is very simple! The documentation is also very easy to follow

 

[McBunny]

will do just getting a ubuntu appliance now

The Jumpbox Application is Free, no costs and I can vouch that they work (we run jumpboxes here)

right i have downloaded a vmdk and vmx of an ubuntu 1.4 distro i have moved it to the data store when i go to create a new vm it doesnt bring anything up in the datastore

 

[MadAsToast]

You should be able to browse to the datastore, right click the vmdk and select "add to inventory" if you are using an ESX server that is?

or, alternatively I leave it on my local PC and run the import wizard to drag it onto the ESX server, whichever way suits you

 

[McBunny]

im using esxi 3.5 connected to the box with the infrastructure client

ive browsed teh data store now and right clicked the vmx and selected add to inventory it did that but now it says its invalid once its added it to the list of vm's (its the only one though)

My boss wants to setup a nagios machine for our site but our firewall blocks apt-get etc so he has to take it home every tome he wants to change it haha


Obviously we don't control the firewall :rasp:

lol.. thread of lazyness or what ?

I wouldn't say it takes 2 minutes to setup.. more like hours depending on complexity but it's a good learning experience

i got the jump box working in the end i needed to import it via the vm ware converter for some reason same with the ubuntu distro

with nagios do i really need to manually add every thing i want it to monitor ?
