<br>Any suggestions? Are other users using Nagios here?<br></blockquote>
<div>Rahul, I'm not a Nagios expert, but I have used NRPE for monitoring quite some time on the past.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My answer would be to give it a try - I'm sure that for the workload type monitoring you are talkign about you could turn down the frequency of the checks if the load is too high.</div>
<div>It would be interesting to hear your findings on the list when you try it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Re NRPE, why do you say it would be too difficult to deploy?</div>
<div>The method would be to get it right on one node, then set it up on other nodes using a parallel command shell, such as pdsh or cexec. You do have something like that in place I trust?</div>
