Log Management, NetEye
This article will highlight quickly an approach for the monitoring of your syslog agent in terms of availability and reactiveness.
SyslogView OS agent check defintions
The NetEye SyslogView server includes a check logic for the monitoring of the syslog agent on the remote server.
The monitoring techniques cover the strategy to launch a Nagios interpretable check command on the remote system via NRPE, or to interpret the web console of the agent.
For the monitoring the SAFED agent we prefer the web based approach since it is a rather easy way to keep track of the agent version installed on the system.
The following image should give an overview of the possible check definitions:
SAFED Service to be running running
Nagios shedulable service check definition:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -p 12489 -t 50 -H 10.62.7.242 -d SHOWALL -v SERVICESTATE -l safed
safed: Started
Command returned exit status 0
SAFED web interface to be reactive and check for determined agent version
Nagios shedulable web based check definition:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H 10.62.7.242 -p 6161 -s “NetEye Safed Version 1.3.3”
HTTP OK: HTTP/1.0 200 OK – 9929 bytes in 0.003 second response time |time=0.003073s;;;0.000000 size=9929B;;;0
Command returned exit status 0

Project Manager at Würth Phoenix
After my graduation in Applied Computer Science at the Free University of Bolzano I decided to start my professional career outside the province. With a bit of good timing and good luck I went into the booming IT-Dept. of Geox in the shoe district of Montebelluna, where I realized how a big IT infrastructure has to grow and adapt to quickly changing requirements. During this experience I had also the nice possibility to travel the world, while setting up the various production and retail areas of this company. Arrived at Würth Phoenix I started developing on our monitoring solution NetEye. Today, in my position as Consulting an Project Manager I am continuously heading to implement our solutions to meet the expectation of your enterprise customers.
