ipMonitor includes out-of-the-box support for monitoring several statistics on Linux based systems.  They are:

1. CPU Usage: The CPU Usage Monitor uses Local or SNMP communication to test the amount of processor capacity
2. Drive Space: The Drive Space Monitor uses RPC or SNMP communication to test the amount of available drive space on a specified drive, share or mount. If less available space than specified is detected, a failure state occurs. Using the RPC communication method, the Drive Space Monitor can monitor any host machine running UNIX and UNIX-like Operating Systems such as Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and so on.
3. Memory Usage: The Memory Usage Monitor uses a local API call or SNMP communication to test the amount of physical memory (RAM) available on a remote SNMP-enabled computer running a Unix-Based Operating System such as Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and so on.
4. Service: The Service Monitor uses RPC or SNMP communication to test whether a specified Service is running on a remote SNMP-enabled computer running a Unix-Based Operating System such as Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and so on.

Hope this helps,
