Re: [Nagios-users] Monitoring HP Hardware - NRPE/NSCA on Windows

[Manish S. <ma...@gs...>]

Hey Jason,
I have been trying to get hpasm on FC8.
However I could not get it working at all.
I just wanted to if you have done any FC8
HP proliant GL 360 monitoring using check_hpasm.

I can share detail info, if you have any idea.
Thanks for any hints.

Regards,
Manish
