Nagios Support Forum

Fair enough slansing - I'll see how I get on and hope I don't break anything when I execute the files on the Nagios server !!

Thanks again for all of your help,

Thanks slansing, much appreciated! Basically my problem is I don't know how to edit the 2 given files to fulfil my requirements, which are: - * A server called Ladon * Is going to be rebooted every Monday morning * At 05:30, so I need the 2 files edited so that every Monday morning a scheduled downt...

Hi slansing, Thanks for your reply! To be honest I'd be afraid to run those script jobs on the Nagios server in case it stops the system running or causes issues with the current config. I'll maybe ask about here and see can I get someone with more Unix/Linux experience to look at the scripts with m...

Hi abrist, Thanks again for your replies and for those links! They have scared the hell out of me! Link two probably is the one that would suit our environment as I am used to editing the sdp_host file and the sdp_services file when I want to add or remove a server from Nagios Ok, now down to busine...

Hi slansing, Thanks for confirming where to put the cron. The problem is I don't know how to write the cron to initiate the scheduled downtime so no notifications are sent for a specific host during the 2 hour window so any help or even an example of what this cron should look like would be very muc...

Hi abrist, Thanks for providing those links!

URL 1 was very useful and gave me a lot of details and background info on crons in...

I'll look through them and see what I come up with.

Cheers,

The remote server that will be restarted each week by a scheduled Windows so can that cron you mention be but on that remote Windows 2008R2 server? I would have assumed the cron would need to be on the Nagios server and...

Hi Scott, Thanks for your reply. I've tinkered about with some stuff in Nagios i.e. updated and removing servers etc. so have some experience with the product. If you could please let me know where the crons / scripts are stored on the Nagios server i.e. for example some files I have worked with in ...

Hi there, I am new to Nagios but need to figure out how to set something up. Basically there is a requirement to restart a particular server every Monday at 05:30 and I’d like to set something up in Nagios to kick in at that time so scheduled downtime is in place and we don’t get alerts for the rest...
