This may be a silly question, but is ndo2db.debug populating with data and continuing to to do so? Oh. My. God. I am an idiot. Nope, not updating. This server has ndo2db logging turned off -- yet another reason to deploy Chef to keep everything change controlled. I'm sorry to have wasted your time ...

Here you go: ### Begin forwarding rule for Nagios Log Server NAGIOSLOGSERVER $WorkDirectory /var/lib/rsyslog # Where spool files will live NAGIOSLOGSERVER $ActionQueueFileName nlsFwdRule0 # Unique name prefix for spool files NAGIOSLOGSERVER $ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g # 1GB space limit (use as much ...

Yes, I am receiving current syslog data from that server. Here is the contents of /etc/rsyslog.conf # rsyslog v5 configuration file # For more information see /usr/share/doc/rsyslog-*/rsyslog_conf.html # If you experience problems, see http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/troubleshoot.html #### MODULES #### $...

I would like to add ndo2db.debug to Nagios Log Server (NLS). ndo is running on a remote machine from which I'm already getting syslog data. I've used the "Linux Files" button and ran the bash scripts to configure everything, with success returns. But nothing is showing up in NLS. I've made...

Do the imported configs differ from the configs currently existing in nagios? As a general rule, I would suggest against importing the same config multiple times if it can be avoided. Originally, about 50% of the file was the same as the old file. The other 50% were new checks that we've added. My ...

I'm using "/usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/reconfigure_nagios.sh" to import new service configs into NagiosXI. The configs are defined in our "response-time.cfg" file, which contains a list of all of our webserver response checks. This grows over time, and we add new tests to this fi...

I'm trying to set up failover for Nagios XI. The general plan is imitate what backup_xi.sh does. Does anyone see any potential pitfalls with the following plan? 1. Use rsync to keep the various flat files sync'd between active and failover servers (/etc/nagiosql, /usr/local/nagios, etc.) 2. Use pg_d...

I'm always up for a bit of over-engineering

I'd appreciate a peek at your bischeck doc. In a former life I was a technical writer -- I'm used to reading lots of drafts.

Hi, I am monitoring REST and SOAP response time checks that are volatile, with spikes -- quite often -- of 300+ ms, but not for sustained periods of time. Essentially, I'd like a check that only alerts if over a certain period of time the average check is greater than 300ms. I think I can roughly si...

Ok, thanks. The SSH route is fine by me -- I just wanted to verify there wasn't a more elegant, Nagios-y solution.
