Hi we have some serious cases where snmp monitoring or mail notificaton is just not enaugh to monitor astaros.
For example mail queue/spool monitoring or monitoring the the spool on a 2nd node within HA cluster.
The snmpd could crash on a 2nd HA node and no one is able to detect this immediately without active monitoring checks.
For the mail queue example, there is a feature request Reporting: Monitor SMTP queue levels via SNMP, but this was 6 years ago, and nothing happend since then....
And active checks are actually the better way to ensure a service of a system is running well.
In my opinion the only safe way to check my astaro HA Cluster is to install a third party nrpe rpm package or a custom build.
=> RPM OpenSuSE 11.X nagios-nrpe 2.12 x86_64 rpm
So is it safe to install third party rpms on astaro?
What happens if I run an up2date?
Does anyone else work with nrpe on astaro?
I know there is the following line in the agreement, but how else can I monitor the astaro?
Mail reporting, snmp, snmp traps are just not enaugh, I need to write my own check scripts.
(6) The User must not install any third party software beside the Software on the same computer and shall not modify the Software.
Thanks
