GroundWork Monitor Enterprise Edition (EE)

GroundWork Monitor Community Edition (CE)

GroundWork TCG Elastic Connector

This is a standalone version of the Elastic connector for GroundWork Monitor. You don't need to use this unless you want to run the connector as a Linux service. You can also run the connector as a container on GroundWork Monitor using docker-compose. 

GroundWork TCG APM Connector

Use this tar file to run the APM connector on Linux systems as a service as an alternative to running in a container in GroundWork Monitor 8.

GroundWork Distributed Monitoring Agent (GDMA)

This is our distributed monitoring agent for Linux and Windows, with legacy support for Solaris and AIX. 

Standby Notification Server

This is an add-on that allows you to run a standby server that takes over GroundWork Messenger notifications when your main server goes down. 

Custom Reporting  Server

A free download of the optional Jasper server container. This is useful if you want to write your own custom reports on data from GroundWork Monitor.

External Grafana Datasource

This is a specialized Grafana Datasource which allows usage of modern Grafana run outside the GroundWork container network. This has been tested up to Grafana 9.3. See Graphs.

Tools

These tools are handy for troubleshooting and automation. 

Linux Plugin Packages for SSH Monitoring

You may use these packages of compiled Nagios™ plugins for SSH-based monitoring on hosts that you want to monitor with GroundWork Monitor. These packages are for generic Linux hosts, most Linux variants will work, and all of the required libraries and Perl modules are included. 

• Assumptions: You may have the user nagios or other user created, the script accommodates and assumes /home is the location, you have enough disk space to store the plugins and libraries (approximately 80MB), and your installed Linux uses bash and has paths that are compatible with GroundWork Monitor. 

• Considerations: This package installs all the libraries needed to run the plugins, as well as the plugins themselves. It also installs its own copy of Perl, so if you add or modify these plugins keep this in mind. Adding a Perl module to the system Perl, for example, will have no effect on plugins that reference the installation in /usr/local/groundwork. The installer scripts have been updated to test if you supplied a username, and will not add the user if it exists. It will unpack the tar into the /usr/local/groundwork location, and make a link in the user home directory to the plugins location. You can choose a different user name than nagios if you set up the GroundWork services to use a different name. The profiles included with GroundWork Monitor all use nagios by default.

NSClient++ Windows Plugins 

You may want to use these Visual Basic plugins with NSClient++ on Windows. They provide basic monitoring, and can be extended as needed to include corrective actions, triggered with the check_nrpe plugin by the GroundWork Messenger, or by event handlers in Nagios. 

Syslog Monitoring Configuration Files

The config files in the attached tarball are used for Syslog Monitoring.

WMI

These plugins are deprecated and largely obsolete, but are included because they are still useful if you need to monitor Windows without using the GDMA. The GDMA agent above is highly recommended.
