Re: [Hyperic-hq-discuss] Monitor Linux

[Brad F. <br...@br...>]

In order to accomplish your tasks, you will need to be running the HQ server on a different system than the one you wish to monitor. My recommendations below are based upon that premise.

1) Set up an alert for Platform "Availability" > "0".

2) Set up an alert for Platform "Availability" = "0".

3) Is this not a repeat of #1?

4) This can be done by piggybacking the server's agent and setting up a ping to the remote system. I would be glad to expound, but it appears that the ping plugin isn't working in my 3.0.1 install. I am off to post another thread on that topic.
