Nagios Support Forum

Thanks for getting back. My Nagios Server is in UTC & should monitor servers in different time zones which have their own scheduled downtime. Example: 'Server A' in EST/EDT with it's own downtime. 'Server B' in PST with it's own downtime. Lets say we have 'Service P' running on 'Server A' which ...

We have set of servers which have scheduled downtime both during day light savings & on other days. is there a way in Nagios to handle downtime which works both a) During Day Light Savings & on other days? I know we have 'exclude' directive which could be used to define DOWNTIME. We can defi...

Guys, I am using check-host-alive which is using check_ping (2.2.1) & have set the host_check_timeout=60 in nagios.cfg. define command { command_name check-host-alive command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5 } Sometimes Nagios report host as "DOWN&q...

Yes. No problem in contacts. I got it working with a tweak in style. Here's what I did: For Host A --> Contacts= Client A For Host B --> Contacts= Client B For Host C --> Contacts= dummy user , Contacts for Service A3 = Client A, Contacts for Service B3 = Client B Bind Services: a) A1 & A3 to se...

Ah,

Found this nice blog on CGI parameters: https://roshamboot.org/post/guide-nagios-statuscgi/
Hope it helps for someone.

Guys, Am using Nagios 4.4 & wanted to know list of all CGI parameters that can be used with various Nagios CGI (status.cgi in particular). I found a related link which gives me list of parameters which can be used with status.cgi but doesn't quite explain the description of each parameter. https...

I am using Nagios 4.4.3 & have configured service downtime. During downtime I note the following. 1) Service check wont happen 2) Notifications will not be sent Both these make sense. But the service retains the last known state as Service Status which can be confusing to user. For Example: If l...

Team,
I have 2 services: Service-A & Service-B.
Service B takes 2 arguments (Which are NOT Macro Variables).
Service-B needs to be called when Service-A - Recovers or Critical.
Is there a way to pass these NON Macro Variables to event handlers?

Thanks!

I think when everything about service is OK, Nagios marks the status as HARD, OK.
A service is said to be in "RECOVER' ing state, when it's in a SOFT, OK state right?
