You can also monitor any public service on the machine without
installing any software, using plugins running on the Nagios server.

Cheers, Chris.

Did you get a "host down" for the router? Was it detected before the
"host down" (hard state) of the hosts behind the router?

Did you disable unreachable host notifications for the hosts behind the
router?

How are you monitoring remote mail queues? With check_nrpe or check_ssh
or distributed monitoring?

If you're not using any of these, the chances are that your Nagios
machine is actually monitoring its own mail queue instead of the remote
host's queue in each case.

Cheers, Chris.

Another option might be to run NRPE on a host which IS on the same
subnet as the DHCP server (but not the DHCP server itself) and get
Nagios to run the check_dhcp plugin on that NRPE server.

Cheers, Chris.

Did you try running sendsms as the nagios user, rather than as root?

If that works, try adding ">/tmp/sms.log 2>&1" to the end of your SMS
command (without the quotes), then generate an SMS alert and see what
turns up in /tmp/sms.log.

Cheers, Chris.
