Monitoring tools that do NOT require root privileges
Hi guys,
I am currently managing an application running on around 150 servers.
I only have application usage rights on those servers and do not have any root privileges.
I have an external node that can connect to those servers and I have root privileges on that one box.
I want to setup System and Application level monitoring.
Is there any open source tool that can help me in install monitoring that doesn't require me to install something on the Application nodes ?

NAME
emsweb - starts the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool (a Web interface)
SYNOPSIS
[ ] [ ]
DESCRIPTION
The HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool ( ) is used to monitor resource instances and manages requests created on these instances.
The HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool provides both Web-based and terminal user interface. The Web-based interface is launched through
the HP System Management Homepage.
Superuser privileges are required to access the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool. A user who does not have superuser privileges has
read-only access to the requests area in the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool and cannot modify requests.
An attempt will be made to connect to a Mozilla/Netscape Web browser running on the X server defined by the DISPLAY environment variable.
If a running Mozilla/Netscape client is found, it will be used, otherwise a new Mozilla/Netscape session will be initiated. This will only
happen if the Mozilla/Netscape process is running in the same system as that referenced by the DISPLAY variable, unless the -F option is
used.
Note: By default, the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool (emsweb) invokes the Mozilla Web browser. If you want to support any other
browser (Netscape), set the $BROWSER environment variable as shown below:
The terminal user interface is invoked if any of the following conditions are true:
o The command is invoked with the option.
o The environment variable is not set.
The Web-based interface is launched if all the following conditions are true:
o The command is invoked with option.
o The environment variable is set.
o The command is available on the system.
If the Web-based interface cannot be launched, invokes the terminal user interface.
Options
recognizes the following options:
Forces a client browser to be used in less secure ways.
The option forces the client browser to be used or started, even when the X-traffic between the X-server and the Mozilla
browser is not secure.
Use this option only when you are sure the network traffic between the host where Mozilla is running and the host in the
DISPLAY variable is secure.
If cannot start the Web browser, the terminal interface is started.
When the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service Web interface is invoked by SAM, the option is used.
If a privileged user (root) executes the
command with the option, a temporary login bypass key is generated. The bypass key enables the user to access the Web
interface without having to provide login information again.
When the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service Web interface is invoked by SAM, the option is used.
Opens the terminal interface for managing requests created to monitor resource instances regardless of the current setting of the
environment variable.
You can also start the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool using one of the following methods:
o Invoke and select the Event Monitoring Service (character mode) functional area to launch the terminal user interface and the
Event Monitoring Service (Web-based Interface) to launch the Web-based tool
o Invoke the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool Web interface by typing the URL in the address bar of your browser, where hostname
is the name of the server
o Launch the HP-UX Systems Insight Manager on the server and select the Event Monitoring Service tool from the Configure -> HP-UX
Configuration menu
Online Help
After the HP-UX Event Monitoring Service tool is started, the online help provides details on how to use the tool.
RETURN VALUES
Upon completion, emsweb returns one of the following values:
o 0 Successful
o 1 An error occurred
