log2ndo: why?

Post by grimm26 »

So, I had an occasion to try using log2ndo because ndo2db was evidently not turned on in chkconfig and when someone rebooted the server it did not come up. So, Nagios went merrily along, but nothing was getting logged to the database. At first I panicked and then I realized that I have all of these Nagios logs archived away and I can use log2ndo. I hadn't thought about it before, but Nagios does not log service checks, so log2ndo does me no good (I only care about servicecheck results). log2ndo doesn't even do anything with the SERVICE ALERT entries in the logs. Is log2ndo as useless to me as I think it is?

Probably. ndo2db is better, full stop.
