hi, i'm glad to getting nagios 2.5 working with nrpe too. Now i'am writing a howto on a german wiki. My problem is, that the documention from nagios (html 2.x on the website) is poorly written, meaning it has a bad structure and i need much time to find, what i searching for.
So, to let me and my readers understand, what for options are possible in the "hosts config", like in the minimal.cfg i want to write it down, on examples. Most things are selfexplained but, some not. Can somebody write a few lines, about the following lines, or show me the right part from the offi. docu. on the nagios website? max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 120 notification_options d,r is_volatile 0 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups admins notification_options w,u,c,r notification_interval 960 check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60% on these last line, i don't know, where i have o set a "!" for example from the dns_check: ./check_dns -H heise.de -s 192.168.1.1 DNS OK: 0.018 seconds response time. heise.de returns 193.99.144.80|time=0.017630s;;;0.000000 so looks the line from the bash, but i wrote something as command and expecting, that it is wrong: define command{ command_name check-resolv-dns command_line $USER1$/check_dns -H www.heise.de -s $HOSTADDRESS$ } define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name win2k3 service_description DNS_resolv is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 2 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups admins notification_interval 240 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_dns!heise.de } i know, i have had it hardcoded, but check_dns resolv the address from the yahoo server, not heise.de ... So, if somebody can explain my mistakes, i can writing a good howto :-) cu denny
