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

Subject: [Observium] Simple service checks?

 

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 :-)

 

 

 

Mark
