Nagios Support Forum

Below is a contact with all of the possible directives. Notice host_notification_commands and service_notification_commands .

Hi all, Edit - I just edited my first post and fixed all of the other errors, the ones remaining are below. BAsically I would like to enable notifications in Nagios: I just installed Nagios and after modifying the config files I am getting an error: Error: Contact 'nagiosadmin' has no service notifi...

Check_http should work fine for this. You'll want to use the -e flag. Here's an example of it - [root@suse11 libexec]# ./check_http -H nagios.com -e 301 HTTP OK: Status line output matched "301" - 522 bytes in 0.089 second response time |time=0.089382s;;;0.000000 size=522B;;;0 Does that a...

Hi all, I would like to use the check_http plugin to check on the status of a website and if the get request returns anything but 415, I get a critical. So 415 is the OK status for that server.

Hi all, I am trying to get NRPE to monitor a remote host for me but I'm getting an error. On the server: nmap localhost 5666/tcp open nrpe netstat -ant tcp6 0 0 :::5666 :::* LISTEN So far so good, but at the same time, I get an error when I try: /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_tcp -H localhost -p 5666...

Sure, thanks much

Jolson,

Thanks much for your great reply, I will see if I can get authorization to install something on the remote host first and we go from there.

Jolson,

Thanks for your reply. You said I should use check_by_ssh, could you elaborate on that a little? What will I achieve if I replace the check_tcp with check_by_ssh? Any examples on how to use it to monitor rabbitmq and pgsql?

Thanks
