How to Monitor remote User Internet connection via Remote Cisco Switch in Centreon/Nagios

Hi All,

We have a remote user connected via VSAT to our Office.
We provide internet connection to the user at Home.
Now from our mionitoring Platform (Centreo/nagios) we want to monitor is internet connection from his side.

How can we do that with Nagios with the help of the the user Cisco Switch residing in his house.

Hi Sangamc,
Is not the user that I want to monitor is rather the internet connection status of the User.

Hi Sangamc,

thx once again for ur reply.
The user is only having a laptop at home and even when he is absent we need to know his internet status.
he is having a Cisco switch.
My First Plan is to remotely connect to the switch and check internet access and let the switch return a status. I heard about a linux tool call "Expect" that can help in this process.
I tried it and was able to automatically login to the switch and bring status. but how to integrate that to Nagios (Centreon) is what im looking at.
