Better way to monitor logon errors
Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 11:43 am
CentOS 5.7 (final)
32bit
2011R2.2
Manual Install of XI
Gnome installed but never used
Are you using a proxy - transparent
Are you using SSL: No
I'm monitoring a performance counter on a Windows server: \Server\Errors Logon
and it's working just fine. However, the behavior is not what I would like. I have no way to reset this counter unless I reboot the server, which, just isn't going to happen. So the counter keeps rising and rising. As a temp, I have set the "MaxWarn" and "MaxCrit" to ridiculously high values but that nullifies the use of this monitor.
Is it possible to have Nagios notify me on a change of this value (when it's incremented) as opposed to having a min/max threshold? I don't care what the cumulative total is. Then to put this monitor in a "Warning" state until I acknowledge?
Current monitoring values:
Thanks
