Nagios Support Forum

Hi ,

In our environment we have linux os with Chinese language and also German language. Our requirement is to monitor those OS with OS level language , Is there any plugin to monitor different languages and trigger alert in respective languages other than English language.

We have nagios core 3.5 monitoring tool.

Nagios Core does not make any calls to gettext() or other such translation functions - the output is hard-coded in English. Similarly, our standard plugins are written from an English perspective. However if you are checking a service and part of your plugin output is copied from that service (for instance, looking for error messages) then that output will remain in whatever language it was originally.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

1.) Is there any possibility to display alert in different languages ( Chinese / German ) other than english.??
2.) According to your reply , there is no plugin to monitor language specific OS and trigger the alert in that particular language ??

No, though you can take a look at something like this for email notifications:

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply.

Please let me know can we monitor linux , windows servers which are in Chinese language with available standard nagios plugins.

You can certainly still *monitor* the servers, but some things are still going to be in English such as the configuration files and error messages.
