In this document we will start with something easy, we are going to monitor our first Windows computer, whether it is a Desktop or a Server. We will monitor the basics through SNMP, be CPU usage, RAM, Disk, Net, Swap Memory and Ping. With this we will have a first base to then add more elements that we need to monitor!!!
This will be the document that we must follow if we want to enable Nagios and Centreon alerts through the use of email and thus receive the alerts in our monitoring system, when a host or service changes status to Warning, Critical, and so on.
Well, before continuing with more configuration posts about Centreon, We make a stop along the way, Let's go with something more entertaining, We will see a small example of what we will be able to monitor. And what less than to start monitoring our own Centreon appliance and thus start to see some possibilities and get ideas!
This first document will serve as a basis for us to install one of the best dashboards we have in the Open Source world (In my humble opinion), we'll use Dashing Dashboard. And we will use it to make interactive graphs of everything that interests us! In my case, I'll document some widgets I used for my home dashboard, Where can I monitor the overall status.
Continuing with the monitoring posts with Nagios, We will continue with this second document, where we will first take a brief walk through some parts of the console to know what juice we can get. And then we'll enable some basic settings to start booting, which will be nothing more than importing some templates to easily start monitoring!
We started a series of posts that are sure to generate a lot of interest! I'm going to post some documents where we are going to deploy a totally personalized and free monitoring system thanks to Nagios! We will use Centreon to generate all the necessary configurations and therefore super simple!!!
Impressive new features we have in a new release of Citrix core software, we talk about XenApp and XenDesktop! The version has just been released 7.13 and we have quite a few novelties as usual, but this time we have such interesting things as improvements in HDX, where thanks to a new protocol, We will optimize bandwidths at least one 60% with default settings, we will improve file transfers up to 10 times faster, thus printing times 5 times or video and audio sessions! They also do not forget the simplification of management by adding new items that were in high demand!
In this document we will be able to follow the steps that will allow us to update our ESXi host to the latest version, the 6.5. See 3 Upgrade Options, A first, Surely the most used by everyone, which is through a package that allows us to update offline, by command line in the fastest way; a second way that is similar to the previous one but online, downloading the updater directly from the VMware website and finally the traditional, The simplest, which is via CD, USB or iLO!
Another very interesting question that we can do in our Nextcloud is to allow it to connect to external data. Well, what is this? It is to give our users the possibility that they not only access their data or that of other users, but to any share we have inside or outside our network, being able to integrate our file server, FTP server, Public Clouds…
The other day I was reading a healthy debate between fellow bloggers on LinkedIn, And it's true, few of us think of programming certain curious tasks such as this one. While it's interesting to back up our ESXi setup… Why don't we schedule it? I leave you a couple of options that will surely fit you to have updated backups of the ESXi configuration.
