Monitoring
NRPE
It is possible to monitor Baruwa Enterprise Edition systems using the NRPE protocol
from Nagios. To enable monitoring check the Enable Monitoring checkbox on the
System Settings screen of the baruwa-setup utility.
Monitoring points
Depending on the system profile, the following points are available via NRPE.
- Disk space

Adding your own monitoring points
You can add your own NRPE monitoring points by placing a .cfg file in /etc/nrpe.d
then reload the nrpe service to activate the monitoring points.
Monitoring services
You can monitor the services by connecting to the actual port, most monitoring systems are able to do this.
Firewall
The firewall port 5666 inbound is open to all, you need to restrict this by allowing access only from your monitoring IP addresses.
SNMP
With BaruwaOS >= 6.7.4 it is possible to monitor Baruwa Enterprise Edition systems
using the SNMP protocol. To enable SNMP monitoring check the Enable SNMP Agent
checkbox on the Management Other Settings screen of the baruwa-setup utility.
Authentication
BaruwaOS only exposes an SNMPv3 interface. The username is baruwa, the password
is autogenerated when the system is setup.
To obtain the password run the following command, (you need to provide the passphrase):
baruwa-setup -e snmp_password
