[Nagios-users] Why the distinction between host definition and hostextinfo definition?
Hi, to me, the distinction between host definition and hostextinfo definition seems artificial, awkward and clumsy - and it prevents some of the more powerful features from being used with the information that belongs into hostextinfo. Hostextinfo doesn't seem to support templates, and it doesn't seem to be possible to set information that is set as hostextinfo from a host group or via wildcards. This makes it extraordinarily hard to - for example - set host icons for the status map, since it needs a dedicated hostextinfo definition setting icon_image and statusmap_image for each host which might have all other properties set from a template. Is there any reason for keeping this distinction and not including hostextinfo into main configuration? Am I missing something here? Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

[Nagios-users] Small problem with forced service checks on 2.0rc2
Hi, I currently have a setup running 2.0rc2. When I go through the web interface and schedule forced checks, this works fine until I hit the max_check_attempts and the service falls into a hard state. After that, even if I schedule a new check, I see the check request in the log file, but the check is never performed. This means that the only way to get it to test again is to wait until its next officially scheduled check. I had asked in one of the IRC channels and was told that this was not supposed to be the case. Is this something related to 2.0rc2 or something I should not be experiencing at all, even on this version? If so, any ideas on what could be wrong?

There is a tool like that: http://nagiostat.sourceforge.net/ It use the RRD-tool, too. Perhaps you can use the db-files it generates together with MRTG.

[Nagios-users] hostgroup_name and hostextinfo.cfg (nagios 1.2)
Can a hostgroup_name
be used in the hostextinfo.cfg file instead of
host_name?
I have my host broken down by OS and am using the
cfg_dir to OS specific configuration
directories.
I know that this
works:
define
hostextinfo{
host_name somehost1,somehost2,somehost3,etc..
notes_url
/nagios/man/host_notes/linux/$HOSTNAME$.html
icon_image
/base/redhat.gif
icon_image_alt RedHat Advanced
Server
} What I would like to be able to do is
something like this:
define
hostextinfo{
hostgroup_name linux-production,linux-test,linux-infrastructure,linux-development
notes_url
/nagios/man/host_notes/linux/$HOSTNAME$.html
icon_image
/base/redhat.gif
icon_image_alt RedHat Advanced
Server
}
I've
tested it and have been unsuccessful. Any pointers on this, or is it just
not something that is possible at this time with 1.2?
Thanks,
Brian

[Nagios-users] What did we recover from?
Title: What did we recover from? Is there some macro that we can use when a recovery alert was sent out to indicate what we recovered from? I.E. Warning, or Critical? I am writing my own notification module, since the notification and escalation rules that nagios provides don't meet my needs. (I need much finer control of who gets noitified for what.) The problem I am having is how to avoid sending recovery pages to people who didn't get the problem pages. I want to be stateless, so I can't track who was sent the page. The idea is to determine what level the recover is for (ie, critical or warn), see if the user would have gotten a page for that service/problem level, and if so, send the recovery page. I was thinking of playing with the $LASTSERVICE*$ macros, but cant figure out an algorithm that will work for both the OK -> CRIT -> OK, case and the OK -> WARN -> CRIT -> WARN -> OK case, vs the OK -> WARN -> OK case. Any ideas? -Andrew

Well. You failed to do step 1. Execute it yourself and tell us what exact response you are getting. Whithout a hint to any error essage or anything else like that from you this exercise is pointless.

No, you cant make up directives. :)
And according to the docs (v1 and v2), you cant use wildcards in
hostextinfo either. Eg, this wouldnt work:
define hostextinfo {
host_name linux-*
notes_url
/nagios/man/host_notes/linux/$HOSTNAME$.html
icon_image /base/redhat.gif
icon_image_alt RedHat Advanced Server
}

[Nagios-users] send_nsca send_check_result script question
in the send_nsca config file there does not appear to be away to set the port that send_nsca should use but in the nsca config file there is a place to set the port. does the port go in the send_check_result script? If so can someone share with me the syntax please. i think it would look something like this /bin/printf "%s\t%s\t%s\t%s\n" "$1" "$2" "$return_code" "$4" | /usr/local/nagios/bin/send_nsca /central_server/ port_id -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/send_nsca.cfg Thank You Brady --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[Nagios-users] Notification Period Options?
I am continuing to try to adjust my notification options. It seems like if a notifiable event happens outside of a notification period then no notification takes place, this makes sense and I understand this. However, I would like to be notified if the service is still down as soon as the service enters into a notification period. Is this possible? It seems like this will happen only if the service is still down AND only after it reaches the notification_interval. Carl --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
