OK I tried to set up my first one today - testing the local host http from the sample provided on the page. Here is what I did. define command{ command_name restart-httpd command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/eventhandlers/restart-httpd $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$ } Here is the services - not sure if this is correct. # httpd-restart define service{ use generic-service host_name localhost service_description HTTPD is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 4 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 event_handler restart-httpd contact_groups bssadmins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_ntp } I used the sameple script they provided: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/eventhandlers.html Now on the web interface it will say local host HTTPD: NTP CRITICAL: No response from NTP server. So I am not sure why this was running when httpd did not go down and why I am getting a NTP error - I am sure things are set up wrong - just need to know what to change to test this out.
