It's pretty easy... - create your script to perform the check. Pay particular attention to the Output and Return Code requirements of http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html - create a command{} definition that calls your script. - create one or more service definitions that reference your new command{} definition - reload nagios - ... - PROFIT! > What I desire - > > Instead of a cumulative result, can I display the result in Nagios on a per > application basis using this one script (and a wrapper script on top of it)? Seems straightforward to me. Accept a command line argument referencing what you want to look for and search the output for that status. Print out the status and exit with a corresponding exit code. > If you can also provide me with a wrapper script for reference in relation to > how the result can be presented to Nagios that would be great. Look at pretty much any of the plugins at http://exchange.nagios.org. I'd bet that the majority of them call some external program, parse it's output and return results. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
