Can the nagios server be a client machine
Posted: Wed Feb 26, 2020 1:47 am
Hi,
We have a backup script placed in the crontab of cisco user on nagios server itself. We need to monitor the output of the backup script.
It is configured as a passive check in Nagios. Can the Nagios server be a client machine.
[root@nagiosserver ]# crontab -u cisco -l
0 6 * * * /usr/local/backup/cisco/awsm_config_backup.sh host1 2>&1 > /dev/null
Following are the service defintion and check command.
define service {
use network-service-passive-template
service_description AWSM Configuration Backup: Admin
host_name host1
freshness_threshold 657500 ; Service is deemed stale after 7 days
check_command check_passive_warning!"Nagios has not received an update from $HOSTNAME$ for at least 25 hours"
}
define command {
command_name check_passive_warning
command_line $USER1$/check_dummy 1 $ARG1$
}
