[cisco-voip] using Nagios to monitor MCS servers

[Paul]

Cisco's recommended way of monitoring your boxes will be using their software of course...which is, *cough* a ripoff *cough*, not free and in some cases not easy to use/configure/read outdated documentation for, etc....

If using third party tools is not recommended, what is Cisco's recommended way to monitor the performance (CPU, memory, paging) utilization of these servers? We chose nagios because it is free and easy to use.

Would you mind elaborating on
the issues? I wouldn’t think snmp gets every few minutes would be that
big an issue (at least compared to a single get). Of course, I could also see a
single get spiking the cpu and causing a code yellow, I just wouldn’t
expect it. Just curious cause we are using snmp to monitor our cluster.

It is possible but I would caution you to take careful
inventory of functionality and alarms before and after implementing
nagios.  we have seen numerous service impacting issues caused by
monitoring tools.

Dear,

What do you thinks of using Nagios to monitor performance utilization of Cisco
MCS servers running windows 2003 like UCCX, WFO QM and Unity?
