What software is needed on the linix box to be able to fully use the LINUXHEALTH check? Is there some .deb files that can be used or?

    You need to install the Linux agent that is located in the add-ons subfolder:

    What port(s) does it require to be open as the server runs in a locked DMZ zone.
  • AdministratorAdministrator
    Depends on what port you run the agent. By default it is port 5555
  • HelgeRossvollHelgeRossvoll
    Does this agent report to servscheck software, or does serverscheck ask the agent for info? Reason I ask is if I actually need to open up port 5555 from dmz -> lan. If serverscheck asks the agent and reports back on same tcp session it wouldnt be needed.
  • AdministratorAdministrator
    Communication to agent is initiated by the ServersCheck Monitoring Software

    hmm very weird, I dont recive any data to the serverscheck console from the agent, if I do a "scan device" it only comes up with:

    80 (HTTP)

    443 (ssl)

    3128 (squid)



    If all is ok with the linux agent, should it show up there?

    I can with "netstat -a" see that box listens on port 5555, but serverscheck reports "No CPU data! No memory data!".

    Does the serv agent require any additional software to be installed on the monitored box?
  • AdministratorAdministrator
    No Linux agent will not show up there. Linux agent has not a fixed port as it can be changed per user requirements.



    Can you telnet from the ServersCheck pc to the Linux agent over port 5555?



    If you define a LINUXHEALTH rule and then click on test settings, what is returned?
  • HelgeRossvollHelgeRossvoll
    Connecting To 213.225.91.60...Could not open connection to the host, on port 5555: Connect failed



    So I suspect there is something else wrong, but just for "funny", how do I specify a different listning port? Tried with ./serv --help to get options, but that just started the agent.



    Test settings shows me:

    The check has been performed.





    Status: DOWN?

    Error returned: No CPU found

    Value returned: PING 5ms -

    You need to modify the source of the agent written in C and recompile it

    Allright thanks for the help, the solution was to change to another port, probably something in the firewall settings between LAN <-> DMZ. All works ok now
