Lock 'er up!

NOT to be confused with "Lock HER up!!"

Solved..

Turned out I had outbound transfers set on another host which was trying to forward messages to my other host and not having the services present made Nagios unhappy with me.. I am working on a primary/secondary with two hosts for hot/cold operations

I have a problem with non-existant services reporting back check results on non-existant hosts.. We are running 5.4.7 on RHEL 7.4 and I keep getting the following in nagios.log: [1512679643] Error: Got check result for service 'SNMP Traps' on host 'ilo-fsdb427.oa.caiso.com'.

Fails for both.. Peculiar thing is t...

I have set up a couple of commands that are being executed in a Contact (one for Host, One for Service). On one of my servers this works just fine, as expected. On another host which was "supposedly" set up identically, it will not pass the values of $HOSTNAME$, $HOSTNOTES$, $HOSTSTATE$, e...

My term of template (policy later on) is a holdover from my Openview days.. I changed everything in the CCM in hosts and services. Upon realization template has an entirely different meaning in Nagios. All part of the learning curve

Thanks for all the great info so far.. I'm diving back into it in a few here.. I caught that the approaches were reversed, but still valid.. I understand the concepts, but being new to Nagios, I have run across quite a few "gotchas" either based on how we build our systems or certain assum...
