Actions

[jcwuerfl]

So if you are checking for a specific linux service lets say and its stopped. Is there a way to monitor that and set an action in there to restart it? Does nagios have that capability? I am guessing you could write your own script and call that via ssh but wondering if there is a better way.

Thanks!

Yes, we call those event handlers. There's a document with a bit more information regarding this @ https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf

Let us know if you have any questions.

Ah ok. Thanks!

You're welcome. I'll leave this thread open for now so that if you have any questions regarding event handlers you have a place to ask.
