Manually or automatically (when one VMWare host server fails, fe)? If manually and the guests will then run on that host-server only, there is no simple way to tell nagios this. It's akin to moving a server from one room to another. Nagios can't know that parents have changed unless you tell it to, so you'll have to reconfigure Nagios when it happens. > > > I saw a posting saying to create a virtual host which represents the ESX > cluster and to use check_summary to test for at least one OK ESX server. > > > > The check_summary didn't work for me, I wondered if there was another > way to achieve the same result ? > If it's supposed to happen automatically, you can use check_icmp in check_host mode, like so: ln -s check_icmp check_host ./check_host ip1 ip2 ip3 ... ipN If at least one server responds, it will return ok. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
