Hi
I have some servers running on linux,some on NT and otheres on win2000 but I have laptops and some monitoring computers running on win nt,2000,and xp.
If i configure my host monitor in a computer running on xp can i get informations on my server running on linux.
or what do i do so that i can even monitor my other server running on linux using hostmonitor.
hopping to hear from u.
Im tired of complains from my customers.
thanks.

Use SNMP. Configure SNMP on the Linux server and allow access from your hostmonitor machine. Use a MIB browser (I use MG-Soft at http://www.mg-soft.net) to see what objects can be monitored on the Linux Box and choose the ones you need. Enter the OID in hostmonitor and select the appropriate constraint (>, <, decreases by, increases by...etc)
