 Automatic monitoring of production system is crucial for bussiness continuity. Monitoring is recommended also for the testing environment, but it is not mandatory. Automatic monitoring of production system is crucial for bussiness continuity.

 This page will show you how to set up basic monitoring of server with CzechIdM using Nagios NRPE. It is very useful to store monitored values for trend overview (e.g. with Munin). Some monitoring systems (like Zabbix) can store trends and monitor services at once. It is also practical to install ''iostat'', ''vmstat'' and ''sar'' utilities on the server. This page will show you how to set up basic monitoring of server with CzechIdM using Nagios NRPE.

This probe, however, returns bad results on RHEL7 because of the different meaning of the ''free'' command output. You can dowload the fixed version from [[https://github.com/bcvsolutions/czechidm-monitoring/blob/master/nagios-plugins/check_mem/check_mem|here]].+  * We use one external probe check\_mem which can be downloaded here: [[https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/System-Metrics/Memory/check_mem-2Esh/details]].
