This sounds like it may be similar to a situation I deal with -- I monitor a bunch of databases that shut down nightly to sync up with other DBs, and the DB is down while this happens.
What I do is use nagios-statd to check if the db sync process is running, and set a check to a warning state if it is. I then have a notification dependency on the main DB checks: if the sync check is in a warning state, notifications are disabled. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard A Nelson Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2006 9:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Nagios-users] NSCA kinda... Monitored host to Nagios server info I've got a medium site monitored with Nagios, and really like the changes in V2 :) Here's one thing I have not been able to figure out how to handle: I monitor service X on about a dozen machines Some of those machines run testcases, which interfere with service X 1) I want to stop notifications before running those testcases 2) I want to run the testcases, which corrupt, fill service X without flooding myself with mails 3) After the testcases are run, I want to re-enable notifications 4) This must all be scriptable My first thought was NSCA, but I can't see how to have it do more than the usual passive notification it seems designed for. My next thought was to ssh from the monitored host to the server, with a dedicated key (only able to start/stop notification), and have a script on the monitoring server that dis/en-abled notifications. The problem is that the ssh approach looks to work, but requires different scripts, and keys for each scenario - I just don't seee it scaling well.
