| Icinga – How to configure passive checks made easy (2) |
In the previous post I explained what is the difference between Icinga active and passive checks, why can be interesting to use passive checks, what is the result format Icinga is expecting when processing those checks and the way I use to send those results (instead of using snmp traps).
Now it is time to show how to configure it … Read more

| Icinga – How to configure passive checks made easy (1) |
As I posted long time ago for Nagios (Nagios – Using passive checks without agent), it is time to show an easy way to configure Icinga to perform passive checks (without using SNMP traps).
This is the first of two posts. In this I only want to make some theoretical explanations and then in the second I will … Read more
| Linux – TCP listener daemon with tcpserver |
To configure passive checks in Nagios/icinga I use a tcp listener daemon that launches a script (See Nagios – Using passive checks without agent)

| Exchange – Monitor mailbox database copies using Nagios |
This post shows a Powershell script I use to monitor the status of my Exchange mailbox database copies and raises a critical alert if any of them is not "Mounted" or "Healthy".
The script takes advantage of the Nagios passive checks and the configurations shown on my previous post "Nagios – Using passive checks without agent".
Here is … Read more
| Nagios – Using passive checks without agent |
I usually use remote active checks by executing SNMP queries or SSH commands. But there are systems and values that cannot be monitored this way.
The passive checks have allowed me to check anything that I cannot check remotely via SNMP or SSH. But I did not want any agent (NSC++, NPA…) installed on the monitored system. That problem can … Read more
