Nagios Support Forum

Hey All, So we fixed the issue from this post http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=30535 and then when unknown timeouts occurred we fixed that by adding a -t to the command line and gave a 30 second timeout and Nagios saw the non responsive equipment as Critical (a forum suggestio...

Box 293,


Worked like it should for SNMP! Thank you!! Now when a piece of equipment goes down it shows as critical vs. unknown.

Thank you,

It makes sense and I think I completely understand how the plugins and nagios timeouts work together!

Well due to the lovely ice and snow we are out of office and someone turned the server off, I will let you know tomorrow night if it works.

Hey, Sorry if I am a bit confusing, I am new to working this in depth with network monitoring, so I am still semi learning what exactly means what and how things work. So originally I used the -r, -w, and -c values for working equipment and tried to use ping to check up vs. down but alas with some s...

Good evening all, I have gotten into place a Nagios Core installation on CentOS 6.5 and everything is running nice and smooth. I am using various plugins to monitor data from our machines and network devices and I am only having an issue with 1 of them. I posted earlier about Check_SNMP and how to m...

Luke,

Awesome, thank you, I am having to learn and reverse engineer what someone put in place, I will check other plugins!

Luke,

So I went ahead and gave that code a try but for some reason when the switch times out I get an unknown instead of a critical. Is there anywhere else that might be changing the response?

Thank you,

Jonathan Burkholder

It seems as though my last response vanished into cyberoblivion. Luke, Thank you, so it turns out I was missing the -w and/or -c variables in the codes, I have them setup now and for the most part all of the services have responded correctly and are now in WARNING or CRITICAL based on what we progra...

Luke, I am using Nagios Core the DIY version. We are on a CentOS 6 machine and running 4.0.4 and are using the check_snmp plugin I believe. So most of the services have corrected to either WARN or CRITICAL based on the criteria we have given the script. However, now several services have gone to unk...
