Thanks for the reply Jim, I take it I'm looking at duplicating hosts and services if I choose not to go down the route of the switches sending traps (just seems like more work I can do without)? I was kind of thinking the switches would be parents of the ports which in turn would be parents of the network devices (servers, pc's printers etc). That way if a port went down for instance, I would only get alerts for the port and not for the services of the device attached to that port. Seem logical?

I don't use Cisco kit myself, but I would guess you would get the relevant alerts by configuring your switches to send snmp traps. You'll need to configure snmptrapd on your Nagios server to receive them and use snmptt to get them in to Nagios one way or another (either via the command interface or via a database using NagTrap for example). hth, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Make an app they can't live without Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge http://p.sf.net/sfu/RIM-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null orting info will risk being sent to /dev/null ************************************************************************ The information in this internet E-mail is confidential and is intended solely for the addressee.
