Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I have a problem that I have to monitor different services but not all of them needs to be running at the same time.
For example service1 is stopped but it doesn't matter as long as service2 is running.
Is it possible to still get an OK event even though service1 is stopped ?
I was looking at service dependencies but I don't think it can be done that way.

It sounds like you need to script the logic into a new function which is custom-tailored to that server.

Thanx for your reaction.
That's my last option because I like to keep Nagios as standard as possible.
Don't know if something like that is possible with servicegroups I'm lookin in to it right now.

I wrote this addon specifically for situations like this : )
