The problem of sending a ping status

[rumarcin11]

dear.
How to configure Nagios Yes to send ping hour on email, a host such as a router or printer, to get the email that ping is OK

[eloyd]

I want to make sure I understand what you are asking.

You want to get an email every hour with the results of a ping test from Nagios, no matter what state it is in?

If this is the case, my preferred approach would be to write a simple plugin that executes once every hour, does a check_ping command (with appropriate macros sent to it) and then mails the result to your appropriate contact. Otherwise, I do not believe you can get Nagios to always notify you on a normal check_ping if the state is in an OK state, unless it was in a non-OK state first.

At the moment so I have that something turned off the device or service turned off, it sends email know, but still do not know how to do, to send information, such as I have a NAS device and it works all the time and we want to send us email stutus ca.

Can you please clarify what you're looking to do? Are you just trying to send emails that say the status is OK?

I depends, to a state that is OK, I have a NAS device and wants the information by email about ping "OK" unknown device is still working, just wants to inf about ping, ping that is ok

Ok, so if you want emails sent on each OK status, then eloyd's comment is spot-on. One way to achieve that is by using MK live status to parse through Nagios' status.dat file:

Be aware that is going to require a bit of work on your end though.
I must say, this seems like overkill - wouldn't you rather deal with one email in a 24 hour period (assuming notification interval is hourly) letting you know a server is down as opposed to receiving 23 'OK' emails obscuring the ONE email you really need, about a server being down?

[rumarcin11]

So, besides ping. It sends me an email about the status of something such as a disabled services, how to turn it sends the ok, just missing inf of ping that sends status once a day

[rumarcin11]

This configuration only sends a status change, yet I would like to have it sends status as approximately every hour

I dont think doing this with Nagios Core is easy or wise like it can be done but just not the best tool for the job

i would recommend using Nagios Reactor for this

its easy to do in reactor, create a chain which runs the pig check and on success sends e-mail

if you are running both Reactor and Core you can let core handle the notifications for down and recovery but status heartbeat type e-mails like you describe can be achieved by setting a schedule in reactor to check the host hourly and notify based on that.

I have a problem still want to get information on e-mail with "status ok" with work.
Because now I have so that "non-ok" to get in the mail
