You could probably abuse the unix agent into doing some of this, but Observium really isn’t a replacement for Nagios – they do two different things for most people.
So you’d suggest we keep the systems split? Observium for monitoring / graphing SNMP land and nagios / sensu / something else for ad hoc probes … ?
... trying to make sure I’m heading down the right path as I set off, rather than having to backtrack later on :-)
Thanks

Hi All
Very new to observium, so please forgive me if this is a silly question :-)
In order to migrate away from nagios we also want to be able to track non-snmp values. For example;
Response time of web sites (is response correct, if so report response time)
SSL Certificate (is cert ok, if so report number of days left)
… and similar
Very easily scriptable checks, I just can’t work out what to do with them.
Ideally I’d like to create a device that doesn’t respond to SNMP checks but gets data from a local script.
Is this achievable or am I completely misusing Observium? Simply trying to get everything monitoring from one place :-)
