According to the documentation for 3.7.1 (http://docs.opsview.org/doku.php?id=opsview-community:usingeventhandler s), it's possible to create an event handler for either a host check or a service check. It documents the environment variables, etc, basically prefixing nagios variables with NAGIOS_. Makes sense, easy enough to do.
However, it then goes in-depth on how to apply event handlers to a service check (To use an event handler, on the host configuration page select a service and then click on the 'Event Handlers' icon...) but not on how to attach an event handler to a host instead of to a service. Given an event handler /usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/foobar_host, how do I set it to trigger when a host state goes DOWN independent of any service checks, i.e. in the nagios host definition? Am I simply supposed to attach it to a dummy 'Event Handler' service on the host and rely on it going down when the host goes down, which then triggers a check on the host to find out that it's down? After trawling through the configs, all I've been able to find is extinfo.cgi's enable/disable event handler for this host options. Am I just failing to find where to define this event handler? -Matt * System Administrator ([email protected]) * Excel.Net,Inc. - http://www.excel.net/ _______________________________________________ Opsview-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opsview.org/lists/listinfo/opsview-users
