Nagios Support Forum

Hey,

The number 2 option in my original post actually works "perfectly". Our software crashed and I got alerts saying the file hadn't been updated which is what we were looking for.

Thanks .

Hey Guys, I need to monitor the last modified date of a single file on a remote server. The file, when our software is working, gets updated at least once per minute. So in theory, the Date Modified should always reflect the current time on the server. The issue is that sometimes the software stops ...

Awesome, thank you. I've learned a lot from this so I think I can continue troubleshooting this on my own. Just for an overview for anyone who google's the issue I had: Initial issue: E-mail notifications from Nagios were not sending to everyone in the contact group. To troubleshoot this I added the...

Hey All, Good news! I did a passive check for one of our services (chose Critical status) and everyone in the contact group got the e-mail. Now, before we celebrate, I tried this on two service on another host and didn't get anything (even in nagios.debug). The service that's not sending out e-mails...

Hey tgriep, Forgot about that :). I've been using the command line this whole time and didn't even know I could do that through the GUI. I do see where to do that at, so I will do so tomorrow once I get into work. I'll let you guys know what I see from the nagios.debug file when I do a passive Criti...

These are the options: retain_state_information=1 state_retention_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat use_retained_program_state=1 use_retained_program_state=1 (use_retained_program_state=1 is in there twice...) I noticed that the following errors were happening on some servers that we have shu...

So nagios.debug is already giving me some good data: [1426798329.049619] [032.1] [pid=19507] Notifications are temporarily disabled for this service, so we won't send one out. [1426798329.049627] [032.0] [pid=19507] Notification viability test failed. No notification will be sent out. [1426798219.20...

Hey, Nothing has changed for services information. I just now added debug_level=32 and specified my debug_file to see if that will give me anymore information. I am unfamiliar with submitting customer service notifications. Is there an easy way to simulate a critical state? The servers our nagios mo...

Hey, Sorry, inexperience with this is showing. After looking through the set up again, this is definitely a service notification that he got, not a host. Here is the services.cfg for the notification he got: define service { host_name hostA check_command Linux-nrpe_check_disk1 max_check_attempts 5 n...

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure where the notification report is. When I look at Notifications under the web GUI it says "No notifications have been recorded in the current log file", with the file being /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log. When I check that log on the server, I j...
