Hi All,

I am new user to Nagios Tool.I like to know how to update the IP Address of an Service getting Monitored.User getting warning alerts stating the service is not responding.

Thanks In advance

This would be in a host definition file, most likely in /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/

After making the change you'll need to restart the nagios service:

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

What version of Nagios Core are you using?

Hi

Thanks for the update !!

I already updated the Hostname IP with the new one in hosts.cfg file but still it showing warning alert in console.

Please let me know if any more configuration file needs to be updated.

Can you post your services.cfg and/or hosts.cfg file with the appropriate information showing what service/host you are monitoring?

Also - can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing? It will help us to know what we're looking for in the configuration files you post.

Hi All,

Thanks for the update !!

As requested please find the hosts.cfg,service.cfg and command.cfg

Hosts.cfg
define host {
use generic-host
host_name portal
alias portal
contact_groups unix-xxxx, portal-xxxx
address XX.XXX.XX.XXX
}

Service.cfg
define service{
use xxxx-service
hostgroup_name portal-xxxx
service_description PORTAL-HTTP
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 2
max_check_attempts 3
contact_groups portal-xxxx
notification_interval 120
notification_options w,u,c,r
check_command xxx_check_portal
}

command.cfg
define command{
command_name xxx_check_portal
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/portal-check -H portal.xxx.xxx
}

Thanks In advance

It looks as though you are hard-coding the portal address in your check command:

Code: Select all

command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/portal-check -H portal.xxx.xxx

Try changing that to -h $HOSTADDRESS$ and it will pick up the host address of the machine, not a hard-coded value.

@eloyd is right - give this a try and let us know if you have any further questions.
