Nagios Support Forum

Hi Guys,

Is there anyway to change error code for nagios alert?

The Nagios Server installed following packages:

nagios-4.0.8
nagios-plugins-2.0.3
snmptt_1.3

Everything working fine except. I can receive the traps and nagios display the alert.
The issue is the device connected to nagios server will trigger state 1 for OK; state 2 for Warning; state 3 for Critical whereas Nagios default is 1 for OK; 2 for Critical; 3 for Unknown.

Thanks in advanced

This is for XI, but the same ideas apply.

You should look into the negate plugin and see if it suits your needs.

Hi hsmith,

Thanks for fast reply. Do you have any example how to implement negate in snmptt.conf?

Thanks

I do not, because that is not how Negate works. Basically, what Negate does is flips the results from a service check.

For example...

No Negate:



Nagios thinks: "Apache is running, everything is wonderful!"



Negate:



Nagios thinks: "Oh no, Apache is running, this is horrible!"

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for exactly, but it is one solution that I figured may fit!
