<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Our Spacewalk environment is used to manage purely external devices. We have them running fedora and use OSA (when it isn't blocked by the client) to get mostly everything accomplished. I want to start using
the Monitoring Scout to give me more details about all of the systems. As it sits, not much documentation exists in the Spacewalk world. I used RedHat Satellite docs to get a better understanding of the tool.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">So how can I monitor the hosts out in the field? They are certainly all NATed and work purely based on checking in. Just to clarify, monitoring scout simply SSHs into your system on 4545 as nocpulse and executes
a command?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I could be overlooking what OSA, or other RHN stuff, would do in this case.
