NAL
(Not Another alarm handler)
(Nagios ALarm handler)
NAL should be used like a web-based alarm handler. It is based on a
simple plug-in inserted in NAGIOS.
Therefore that should be used to monitor the EPICS network (it means
PVs status). The plug-in relized to do that is : check_caget_dev_gw.sh
you can download it from Nagios
Exchange web site (search by keyword "EPICS").
A huge number of guides are present on web to help to install and setup
Nagios, anyway, I've realized a HOWTO
to
install and setup NAL starting from a linux box Fedora Core 7
equipped.
Last, but not least if you are in
hurry to try this: the last version
of LivEPICS
CD has a Nagios server set-up ready to use in order to
monitor the simple EPICS "example" application. A HOWTO
guide is avilable to play with NAL using LivEPICS.fc5 NAGIOS v1.0
