how to monitor a freebsd machine using nagios

hi everyone.

Any idea how to monitor a machine running freebsd 7.0 using Nagios?

The Nagios server is currently on another machine.

thanks Smilie

First off configure simple monitors like ping/HTTP (depending on what you're running on the FreeBSD server). Next, install te Nagios client tools on the FreeBSD machine for things like load, disk space, etc, and then configure your Nagios to check them as well. Configuring Nagios for freebsd is no different to configuring it for any other nix flavour
