Create an nrpe.cfg for all of your remote monitoring hosts with a command something like:

Code: Select all

[check_ipcam]=/path/to/your/check_ping -H $ARG1$

then create a service to apply to all of your cameras (defined as new hosts) using a command that expands like:

Code: Select all

check_nrpe -H <remote monitoring host> -c check_ipcam -a '$HOSTADDRESS$'

To make it a step slicker remote monitoring host could be a host custom object. This would be more flexible for future additional checks in case you wanted to monitor some other metrics that the IP Cams had to offer.

root@raspberrypi:/var/log# /usr/local/nrdp/clients/nrds/nrds.pl -H 'EmpireTestPi' 2>&1
ERROR: STDIN must be either 3 or 4 fields long, I found 1
Sent 2 checks to http://nagios.empiresip.com/nrdp/
[code]

Then the Host shows OK: No data received yet. for 5-10 sec, then goes to Critical with /bin/ping6 -n -U -w 10 -c 1 localhost
How the heck do I get the host to show up?

I added a new host with a few services using the NRDP config manager. The SERVICE that is set to ping a few devices works great, no issue. But the host itself keeps showing CRITICAL DOWN with /bin/ping6 -n -U -w 10 -c 1 localhost

I think this is a great feature request. Being able to define the Operating System list and the template.

Thanks! I hoping someone notices and passes it on to development...
