  • Does anyone here using Nagios to monitor SQL ?

    I know a plugin needs to be installed on the Linux server, does anyone know what the plugin is.

  • I am using Nagios to monitor our SQL Server, while it may not be comparable to the many paid products out there, it certainly does the job.

    You will need check_nt plugin, and NSClient++ on the machine you monitor.

    You can monitor processes, services, CPU over x time, and memory. If you want to dig deeper, you can use WMI and check if the DB is online, DB Log size, and DB Size; all this can also be graphed so that you can see a trend on how your DBs are growing.

    You should look at the Nagis Mailing List Archive, there has been lots of examples and discussion on SQL Server 2005 monitoring.

    Thanks.

  • To monitore SQL Server, you can use plugin check_mssql_health : http://www.xoowiki.com/Article/Shell/nagioscentreon-check_mssql_health-498.aspx
