[Nagios-devel] Adaptive Features in 2.0
Posted: Fri Apr 25, 2003 11:49 am
Hi Ethan,
I hope it's not too late to add to this discussion. I've often wished for
the ability to add objects to (and remove objects from) a running Nagios
instance, without the overhead and process downtime associated with
stopping/starting Nagios in order to do this. Would it be possible to (say)
add an object marked as "inactive", and then activate that object without
having to stop/start? The converse operations would be to deactivate an
object and then delete it.
In my opinion, this would be a great enhancement. It would allow Nagios to
run 24x7x365 without skipping a beat.

Subject: [Nagios-devel] Adaptive Features in 2.0
Since the weather has conspired against me and put a damper on my
vacation day, I've had some time to think about this.
As mentioned on the upcoming page
(http://www.nagios.org/upcoming.php), I was hoping to add some
adaptive monitoring features to Nagios in 3.0. Now I'm thinking that
I *might* add these to 2.0.
Essentially what this would involve is adding the ability to change
various host/service properties during runtime using external
commands. The most important mutable properties that I think should
be implemented include:
Services:
- Event handler command
- Check command
- Normal check interval
- Retry check interval
Hosts:
- Event handler command
- Check command
- Normal check interval (2.0 will include scheduled host checks)
Are there any other host/service properties that people might
consider high on their wishlist? I realize that any property has the
potential of being modified, but right now I'm only interested in
those that might have the most impact of flexibility.
