Re: [sentinix-list] nmap2nagios

I read the README file and rad the perldoc on the perl file
(nmap2nagios.pl) to see the other instructions. Forgive me as i am neither
a programmer or a professional linux/Unix user. I am not sure how to run
the script. I generated the XML file ok but when i tried the second command
(nmap2nagios.pl -v -r nmap.xml -o new.cf) i get that bash: nmap2nagios.pl :
command not found.

I may just end up going the manual root. You care correct in that i can
more tailor Nagios to what i want it to monitor. Thanks for the advice.

It is available from the nagios contributed add-ons download area

http://www.nagios.org/download/extras.php

"nmap2nagios 0.1.2 11/15/2002 nmap2nagios-0.1.2.tar.gz (12K) nmap2nagios is
a
script for generating template-based object configuration files (containing
defintions for hosts, services, etc.) from Nmap XML output. It is also
possible to generate the older "default" object configuration files by
using
the nmap2netsaint.conf file."

Documentation on how to use it should be included in the download.  I've
never used it, but it reads to me that you 1) alter the config file 2) run
the script once 3) the script generates your nagios config files for you 4)
copy the config files to your nagios dir

Personally I would spend the time to identify the servers and services you
want to watch, and how aggressively you want them watched. Then config
nagios
yourself, just because a port is open I wouldn't necessarily want to
monitor
it.

There is nmap2nagios available from
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/download/contrib/addons/nmap2nagios-0.1.2.tar.g

z

...it'll portscan your network using Nmap and generate the Nagios
templates.
If it's possible to integrate into the sentinix design, it'll probably be
added.

BandwidthD does that, it has been added for the next release.

Notifications if there is, e.g., too much FTP traffic or??
