Nagios Support Forum

Thank you! That was exactly what I was searching, funnily enough I had this option correctly configured on another instance of Nagios, and totally missed it on this one :) Do you happen to have any other useful tips to share on dealing with such a peculiar environment? I mean, with random devices do...

Hi, we are monitoring an environment with very frequent, totally random and perfectly legit downtimes. Due to these pecularities it is difficult to use a schedeuled downtime approach. Moreover we don't need an aggressive notifications in place because most of the services are low impact, so a lazy n...

Thank you guys, I solved with a quick and dirty bash script.
I'll take a look at check_multi which sound promising.

Thank you both for the help. I can confirm the Command_B and Command_C are both working stand alone and returning numerical value. I can confirm Command_A is working when fed with a numerical value. I tried to look at check_cluster, but from what I've understood it only checks against a string (&quo...

I'm trying to figure out arguments substitution, but I don't seem to have found a solution to my problem. define command { command_name Command_A command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp \ -H '$HOSTADDRESS$' \ -C public \ -o 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8 \ -n \ -w $ARG1$ \ -c $ARG2$ } define command { co...

jdalrymple,
I can't really say I have reolved my issue, but you can certainly close this thread, thanks

jdarylmpe, thank you for the clarifications. I will certainly take a look at the trial version of Nagios XI. It seems a nice product, indeed. The price range is quite out of our possibilities, though. I know, there are many considerations which can be made about this, but I'm not the one who makes t...

Thank you for your help as well. Standing things this way, it seems the way checks are performed is quite inefficient. The parent->child relationship doesn't seem to make much difference, apart from the fact the child is identified as unreachable instead of down when the parent is offline... I even ...

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thinking at service dependencies as well, but what it is not clear to me is why Nagios keeps checking services on hosts which are in "unreachable" or "down" status... Shouldn't this be avoided when using parent/child relations between hosts? And m...

Hi all, I'm fighting with a configuration problem and I hope someone here can shred some light. My /var/log/message is being flooded with check timeout messages (and the /usr/local/nagios/var/archives is huge, too): ... nagios: Warning: Check of service '00 System - Battery voltage' on host 'Myremot...
