Re: [Nagios-users] check_route or equivalent?
looking at my ping'(ipv4)s man page using -g and the IP of the secondary
gateway would work.
using ipv6 i tend to run one rtsold advertisement for each pipe for each
gateway. Thus a host on a network that is comprised of two interconnected
routers with independent access to two shared pipes would have at /least/
4 IPs, thus src address alone is sufficient in the ip6 world!
('local'* services are by fe80:: or rfc 4193 addressing depending upon
segmentation).

If you haven't modified the source code then it would appear that your firefox is borked. I use FF exclusively and have never seen that problem nor have I seen anyone else report it.

Sound like you want the omelet without breaking the eggshells. I think you need to handle this with routing. So I suggest you sacrify some subnet you do not want to reach normally and send that network out via the other link. (Say: 207.68.128.0/18 ;-) And just for good measures. If it is the backup link. How will you do the failover? (Not that is has anything to do with Nagios.) It might be worthwhile digging into the source based routing option of your network equipment. Hugo. -- I hate duplicates.

[Nagios-users] Service escalations (exclude certain service_descriptions?)
I would like to create an escalation group that notifies for all services and hosts except for a few specific ones. I've created a serviceescalation that will do everything, but now I'd like to start excluding a certain service. For example I'd like to not be notified if the service_description is 'C:\', is there an easy way to match all and then exclude specific services?
define serviceescalation {host_name *service_description *first_notification 3last_notification 0notification_interval 15contact_groups Tier2}
Thanks!-- Kyle Sexton

Re: [Nagios-users] Externals Commands
Just for reference and closure on this, there was nothing wrong with my setup really. I have noticed a couple of quirks though which I should point out. The nagios_check_command I specified in cgi.cfg never worked, despite the fact that it works perfectly from the command line of the nagios user (in fact I put it in a script and use it outside of nagios fine) . For reference see https://sourceforge.net/search/?ml_name=nagios-users&type_of_search=mlists&group_id=26589&words=nagios+process+not+running+it+is+running Once I commented out the nagios_check_command, I could add comments, but I still could not schedule downtime. I have also found that when scheduling downtime, if I put the name of the host in lower case instead of Capitalized as I have defined it, then I get the error regarding you are not authorized etc... even though my nagiosadmin user is authorized for everything everywhere. Therefore the downtime scheduling is case sensitive for hostname. So really this whole problem was nothing to do with permissions or authorisation. -h Deborah Martin wrote: no idea! i use .htaccess and it works for me! my httpd.conf has the following which is what i extracted from the docs!

If that's the case you could always either hard-code the necessary arguments in the check command - thereby possibly creating a large number of similar host check commands - or using a wrapper script around the actual check command. You could set up any additional arguments depending on the host name or address, for example. >There is no service associated with the > said hosts.
