Is that an easy change that we could make? What directory is the SNMP Trap Sender component in?

If I recreated how our host groups are set up but as service groups and then tried to add a servicegroupname /s to that command, do you think that would work?

We tested that earlier this week and it didn't work as we expected it to.

EDIT: Just tested it again with hostgroupname and hostgroupsnames, neither of which worked.

That's correct. We are using the SNMP Trap Sender component. Right now we only have it set up to send traps on hard state DOWN hosts. In order to get the hostgroups to come across in these traps we modified the xi_host_event_handler command adding --hostgroupnames="$HOSTGROUPNAMES$" to the...

In that SNMP trap we have the hostgroups that host is in, in the trap itself. We are now ...

Is there a way to add the hostgroups a host is in to a service alert SNMP trap?

Lets leave it open for now just in case

Nevermind, I figured it out. I had to run 'kill -9 pid' to kill each of those stubborn process individually. All three servers seem to be back to normal. I will keep an eye on our monitoring the next few days to make sure this fixed the problem.

I can run 'pkill nagios' and then 'ps -ef | grep nagios.cfg | grep -v grep' and the process will still be there: Capture 6.PNG And on this ser...
