Nagios 对主机的监控分为2种，像服务，端口，ping之类的监控属于外部信息监控；像内存，磁盘，swap这些信息的监控属于内部信息监控。外部信息监控可以通过安装Nagios 插件补丁来实现例如check_ping ；内部信息监控则需要通过NRPE 插件来实现，其原理为：客户机NRPE插件收集相关信息，服务端通过check_nrpe 来采集相关信息，并做相关处理。

一、监控外部信息
监控外部信息，只需要参照Nagios(二) 将Nagios 服务搭建起来，并且配置好欲监控的主机和服务即可。
1. 配置hosts.cfg
[root@server ~]# vim /usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
define host{
use linux-server
host_name node-1
alias lamp
address 192.168.30.110
}
2. 配置services.cfg
[root@server etc]# vim services.cfg
define service{
use generic-service
host_name node-1
service_description ping
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
max_check_attempts 5
normal_check_interval 1
}
define service{
use generic-service
host_name node-1
service_description tcp
check_command check_tcp!22
max_check_attempts 5
normal_check_interval 1
}
define service{
use generic-service
host_name node-1
service_description http
check_command check_http
max_check_attempts 5
normal_check_interval 1
}
3.将services.cfg和hosts.cfg 引用进nagios
[root@server ~]# vim /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg
4.用nagios自带的检查命令检查其配置是否正确
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
注意：由于这条命令较长而且使用的频率也较高，所以可以通过以下的方法快捷的运用
[root@server ~]# vim .bashrc
alias check='/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg'
[root@server ~]# source .bashrc
这样使用check命令即可直接调用-v 的命令，但只是当前登录有效。
命令运行结果如下：
[root@server ~]# check
