20.3.5 Gathering and displaying system environment data

Insight Control for Linux provides plug-ins that monitor the environment data on each managed
system such as temperature and fan speed, which can be indicators of possible system failure.

To display environment data, select the Service Problems menu item in the left frame of the Nagios
main window to open the Service Status for All Hosts window.

You can also use the shownode metrics sensors command to display environmental data.
See

Section 21.2.4.1 (page 182)

for more information.

20.4 Services monitored by Nagios

Services, also referred to as plug-ins, typically gather information for many managed systems at
a time and apply the information to Nagios through the Nagios FIFO (passive checks) on a managed
system basis.

Nagios plug-ins are located in the /opt/hptc/nagios/libexec directory on the CMS.

Table 21

lists each Nagios plug-in service that runs on the CMS. The items in the Service Name

column correspond to the Service column of the Nagios Service Detail View and Service Problems
View windows, which are shown in

Figure 26 (page 164)

and

Figure 29 (page 167)

, respectively.
