I'm very much a nagios-newbie, but I'm guessing (from reading my Pro Nagios 2.0 book the past few weeks) that you'd use a combination of: define service{ service_description loadbalancer-warnings is_volatile 1 max_check_attempts 1 active_checks_method 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 ... } You'd supposedly use the send_nsca command on the remote host to send a warning message to the NSCA daemon on the nagios host? (I haven't tried this yet - and don't completely understand it - but it was in the "Integrating Nagios" chapter where it talks about syslog-ng / snort integration.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
