Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Reboot Notification
I use an uptime script on Windows with NSClient++. I don't know the second it goes down but I'll know when it comes back up.

But I'm not exactly sure how to fully search the boards. Issue at hand: I have successfully setup Nagios 3 on Ubuntu 8.10. I have a few test servers being monitored, but what I can't get working properly are when the servers reboot. I'm looking for a way to monitor when a server reboots or has an unexpected shutdown. I've tried the host-is-alive and also the ping, but the server comes up to fast. I've also tried just monitoring a service, such as the NSClient++ but Nagios doesn't notify me right away once the server reboots. How is everybody monitoring server reboots. I've used Whats Up Gold in the past, and it would notify me right away. There has to be a way to monitor reboots and get a notification of that reboot. Many people have suggested I use scripts, but I don't know how to write scripts. Any help or direction would be much appreciated!
