Nagios Support Forum

I have found the snmpwalk command which lets me display all the OIDs for my router. With a bit of coercion, I was able to find a result that might move me along the road to solving this problem. A command that looks like this: $ snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.1.1 | grep "IpAddress: 127.0.0.1&q...

Ok, I admit to being WAY over my head here. I did find the check_snmp script and I found the mibdepot.com and oid-info.com websites, which gave me some info. but the output of the script is always "no such variable name. As in: $ ./check_snmp -H 192.168.1.1 -o iso.org.dod.internet.private.enter...

My ISP (Cox) has a nasty habit of changing the IP address of my home network router (Airport Extreme). From the inside of my network I can still reach it as 198.162.1.1, but the WAN IP Address is subject to change without notice. Is there any way to have a Nagios server (currently have v4.0.4) runni...

Well, I haven't had any luck with this. I am going to try updating from 3.5.0 to the current 4.0.4 release and see if anything changes.

No, I have 5 hosts and no dependencies defined.

There was another parameter that I wondered about. The "command_check_interval" was set to -1, which means check as often as possible. Does that have anything to do with the "check_host_alive" command?

I've changed its label to be "forum-server", but the data hasn't changed. There does seem to be one strange thing in here. Both the high- and low-flap-threshold values are 0.0000. I don't know if that could be the problem. define host { host_name forum-server alias Forum Server address xxx...

No, only one nagios process and no occurrences of "host group_name" outside of the host group definitions.

I don't think so. I don't have any service groups defined yet, and my host groups all look like this:

Ok, thanks FTL. I see that now. But, the problem remains that I can see by way of the tcpdump that my monitored hosts are being pinged far more often than the once every 5 minutes that the configuration file specifies.
