[Nagios-devel] Subservice Definations

Post by Guest »

Hi,

I'm after a slightly better solution for SNMP trap monitoring.

SNMP traps are submitted as passive service checks. All the examples show
the a single service defination for the traps - this has the unfortunate
effect of the next SNMP trap overwriting the previous. I'd like to have
different services definations for different SNMP traps on our networking
equipment, but that would result in a LOT of service definations.

It would be nice if there was a sub-service id that could be submitted with
passive checks, that effectively divides a single service into multiple
services on demand, without the need for 1000's of service definations.

Is there a solution to this that I've missed, or is it going to require
changes to Nagios? I'm a fair programmer so I'm happy to make these changes
myself, but others might not consider this a good solution to this problem.

Sam
