That one would be non-trivial, but perhaps the check command could read current status for the host and only do test if there are no services currently in OK state? Otherwise it would return the host is UP. -- Wojciech Kocjan - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.

No, I assume what you actually want is to: 1/ Monitor the service 24x7 2/ For India working hours, notify India 3/ For remaining hours, notify someone else So, define single service, two contact groups and for India group members configure them for Indiaworkinghours time period and for "someone else" configure them for a timeperiod defining remaining hours. Then if a problem comes in during Indiaworkinghours, India staff will get the message. On remaining hours "someone else" will get the message. -- Wojciech Kocjan - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

my $username = "wojciech.kocjan";
my $password = "x";
my $resource = "APUD";
The only thing I got confused is that the script I gave you as a link adds
@gmail.com to the address.
I modified it to be:
# Send messages
sleep(2);
foreach ( @field ) {
$Connection->MessageSend(
to => "$_",
resource => $resource,
subject => "Notification",
type => "chat",
body => $ARGV[1]);
}
sleep(2);
$Connection->Disconnect();
exit;
And run notify_via_jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Test message"
Worked like a charm.

That looks correct.
What I'd recommend is to write to /tmp/nagios.cmd, check that file.
Then perform this as the same user as your PHP is run (www-data/apache
probably):
cat /tmp/nagios.cmd >>/var/lib/nagios2/rw/nagios.cmd
You should see if it works.
Also, are you writing or appending to the nagios.cmd pipe?
I think appending is TheRightWay(tm) to do it.

Hi, You need to: 1/ Change username and password in the script (you'll need a separate account for your Nagios notifications) 2/ Make sure you have authorized your normal and nagios notifications account - in other words run 2 copies of your favorite Jabber client, add and authorize yourself both ways and make sure that you can send messages both ways. 2/ Run; ./notify_via_jabber [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I am alive!"

Hi, Well, I once wrote a script that basically runs 'cat' command and uses it to "ping" the server - it writes some garbage every few minutes and checks if it gets back. I'll play with doing it as a service on Windows and if this is trivial enough, I'll make it opensource. I don't think that putting ssh client in NSClient as a plugin is a good way, though. I'm wondering if it can't report directly to NCSA as a long term solution? -- Wojciech Kocjan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hi Paul, I think it should be quite easy to use putty's plink to connect and tunnel nsclient++ using remote tunneling (-R option). For example assuming NSClient is running on port 12489 you could run plink -R 20001:127.0.0.1:12489 [EMAIL PROTECTED] And then as long as the SSH connection stays open your nagiosserver will be able to access NSClient++ by connecting to 127.0.0.1 port 20001. You'd need to modify check_nt command a bit to always use 127.0.0.1 as an IP. If it's Nagios 3 you can also use custom variable (like _NSCLIENTPORT) in host definitions and reuse that in your version of check_nt command (using $_HOSTNSCLIENTPORT$). The solution might not be robust enough if your network is not stable - in that case you might need a wrapper that will restart plink if a connection is down... I'm not sure if any working solutions for this exist. I'm curious myself as I wrote a small wrapper that checks for connection timeouts - and I'm wondering if there's any better solution on Windows. -- Wojciech Kocjan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

I set address1 and used $CONTACTADDRESS1$ and it did not work for me. However, when I set address2 and used $CONTACTADDRESS1$ it seemed to work fine - so perhaps there's a bug in there somewhere.
