Nagios Support Forum

i'm still quite new to Nagios and would have one question for the experts.

we setup already a couple of host/service checks and some of them are getting the device information (like model, serial No) via SNMP in a service check.
Would it be possible to add those Service status information into the description of a host ?

thanks a lot in advance for your replay

Not it is not possible to see service status in Host Description but you can add manually in host description.


"notes XXXX server Model no. 0000"

Hi Rajesh,

thats what i'm doing right now. Was just wondering if i could automate that somehow with the information from the service check.

Adding the service status information to the description of a host automatically would require a restart of the Nagios core in order to take effect, which essentially means a restart of Nagios after every check. This is not possible.
