Nagios Support Forum

The Nagios CGI pages are coded in C, and you will need to edit the source and recompile if you want to change this. If you think the default behavior should be changed, file a feature request on the tracker here.

Nagios can be configured to monitor just about anything. Is there something in particular you think it lacks?

I guess I could be more helpful if I knew something more about your setup. What are you using ndoutils for?

When i check the web-GUI front-end, I still see checks logged at the current time. Shouldn't that data be sent to the MySQL db? Is that proof that the data is still not being directed to the MySQL db? No, it could still be working. The web front-end doesn't use the MySQL database on Core. You shoul...

It could have been caused by notification escalations being misconfigured. Then everybody would normally receive notifications except when the escalation is triggered. Or maybe you haven't enabled notifications for some uncommon check results like UNKNOWN, or UNREACHABLE? If it was truly caused by t...

Those processes are called zombie processes , and are created in normal operation when Nagios runs checks. They have already finished executing and have freed up any resources they were using (so they are not slowing down your system), and will disappear when Nagios gets around to checking their exi...

I'm not sure why you don't receive service notifications, but you've explicitly disabled host notifications by adding 'n' to host_notification_options.

You would only be missing something if you're using any add-ons besides ndoutils that use MySQL. Otherwise, skipping the Nagios XI-specific portions is just fine for Nagios Core. Sorry, I don't know of any documents for Nagios Core.

That is pretty strange, and I can't say I've seen that behavior before. I wasn't able to reproduce it, anyway. This is what I get: [root@localhost libexec]# ./check_snmp -H 172.16.5.1 -o iso.3.6.1.2.1.99.1.1.1.7.11 -C tempread -P2c -v /usr/bin/snmpget -t 1 -r 5 -m ALL -v 2c -c tempread 172.16.5.1:16...

What does your load avg look like? I'm not convinced there's actually a problem unless the system load is also steadily rising.
