Nagios Support Forum

Thanks for the responses.

I need to upgrade a client from 5.6 to 5.8. I don't see anywhere it says it will or won't, or whether interim upgrades are recommended /necessary. Has anyone done a direct upgrade from 5.6 -> 5.8?
Thanks

I've written a lot of custom checks using jmx, which can access pretty much anything in the jvm. The only downside is that it uses java, and it takes a bit more memory and CPU than most checks.

Check to see if you have more than one nagios daemon running:

ps aux|grep 'nagios -d'|grep -v grep

If you see more than two, then you have more than one daemon running. (Two is normal, as nagios normally spawns one child process.)

Hi Mohan, The default check_interval is 60 minutes. So you should be getting a notification every hour after the first notification for any hosts that remain down. I would think you could just change this to 1440 to make it one notification every 24 hours. But for any customized logic for notificati...

Hi Donny, Did you check "/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ups"? Network UPS Tools from www.networkupstools.org must be running for this plugin to work. Most UPSes have serial ports which signal various kernel variables that can be queried with "sysctl". Rex Consulting has written ...

I'm only half-joking: Break something and see if Nagios goes off.

Sometimes when we @ Rex write custom checks, we can't have them tested until something really breaks, and that is a bit frustrating.

If you can afford a really good test environment, that's the best way for sure tho!

Another way would be to use mass update to clear all the check intervals, then use a template to set it up. That would streamline things for you in the future.

Yeah. Actually I really like notification_delay now. I hadn't really used it before. Thanks Scott!
