Nagios Support Forum

Hello all, As a newbie Linux / Nagios guy, I have FINALLY achieved some level of comfort with my configuration and have gotten some of my hosts responding to pings originating from Nagios. I am now noticing, however, that some checks on sites are indicating that there is a packet loss and others are...

I switched over to XI for ease of use and it does EXACTLY what I need it to do. The problem is that I have over 1200 hosts that need to be monitored and there is no "free" XI to do so. So, now I need to go BACK to the regular Nagios and just try to figure it out.

UGH - the PAIN of it all.

Typically, a Nagios host represents a single physical/virtual piece of equipment. Under that host, you may have multiple services running that you also need to keep track of. A single host may have a http server, a database, a dns server, irc server, samba share. Those are typically good candidates...

Have you looked into the documentation at all? The object definitions page would be a great place to start: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/nagioscore/4/en/objectdefinitions.html So, just to make sure I have the terminology right - the grouping of ALL schools (in this case the c...

Thanks for the li...

Before I dive into what I need, however, I figure I give you all a little background. I'm one of the lead engineers / project managers for a point of...

Thanks - but this is just getting to be a little too overwhelming. I am thinking of just starting from scratch again and really trying to learn....

Very true. I guess there is no in-between....

Totally true. Understand though that - as i've said many many times before - I am completely new to Linux / Ubuntu & Nagios. Short of hiring someone - which we cannot do - i am trying to be as proactive and doing this on my own. Of course, me being the Cisco guru that I am, i have enough of a ne...

Nagios likes to be statically defined for each host so it can maintain history information, rather than dynamically choosing things from a list to check. Honestly, if you have some script-writing-fu or someone around you has some Excel variable concatination-fu, you could write something that simpl...
