Maybe I'm not understanding the logic. I create a cfg file with hosts and services. Do I not need to include hosts and addresses? Is it just a cfg file and then check services statement? I'm just used to creating a host file and adding services to it. This is a concept I haven't setup before. Can yo...

Basically, how would I set it up to include two or more hosts? define host { host_name APIA-1 address 172.24.32.98 check_command check_ncpa!-t xxxxxx -P 5693 -M system/agent_version max_check_attempts 5 check_interval 5 retry_interval 1 check_period 24x7 contact_groups admins notification_interval 6...

So I can just name it anything right? Then what would I put for the addresses?

Yes.

APIA-A
Services are running and being monitored

APIA-B
Services set to manual and being monitored

Alarms are flagging on APIA-B, Notifications set to off.

(If I move services to the other server then you would flip flop the setup)

Monitor Host1 Host2 - - Service A running Service A manual I need the check to monitor the service on both servers. So when we fail the service over it wouldn't flag due to it constantly running on either server. But it would flag if it failed on both servers. I can't come up with the configuration ...

I have two servers that have the same services running. But the service only runs on one server at a time. I was trying to use cluster services but I am not sure how to apply it. https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/nagioscore/4/en/clusters.html I can't figure out how to apply this. C...

Took a minute because you can't post so soon after your last.
