# Monitoring Netware Servers

Up To: Contents
See Also: Quickstart Installation Guide, Monitoring Publicly Available Services

Introduction

This document describes how you can monitor "private" services and attributes of Novell Netware servers, such as:

- Memory usage
- Processor utilization
- Cache buffers
- Active connections
- Volume (disk) usage
- etc.

Publicly available services that are provided by Netware servers (HTTP, FTP, etc.) can be monitored easily by following the documentation on monitoring publicly available services.

Overview

TODO...

Note: I'm looking for volunteers to writeup a HOWTO on monitoring Netware servers. I only have access to an ancient Netware 4.11 server, so I can't offer up-to-date instructions. If you would like to contribute documentation, consider posting it on the NagiosCommunity wiki.
