[Nagios-users] Passive Monitoring Issue

[Dehnert James Sr]

I recently converted both of my Nagios systems to Nagios 2.0 and  
changed my configuration to use distributed monitoring.  My remote  
system send status vis ncsa to my local system, and my local system  
monitors the remote hosts with passive checks.


All of this works fine, except for one host.  This host is only  
monitored via the standard check-host-alive.  The hosts bounces  
between "OK" and "CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds", but  
even when the status is listed as critical, the ping sometimes shows  
as OK.


None of the other passive checks exhibit this behavior, and if I look  
at the remote Nagios system (it still is running it's web interface  
for now) this host always listed as up and available.


Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before?  Is so, what hoops do I  
need to jump through to resolve this?


 Thanks,
Zeke

[Nagios-users] Event Handlers

[Dehnert James Sr]

Most of all of the processes and such I monitor are not on the Nagios  
server.  I do want to be able to use event handlers to try and  
resolve things before I get paged though, so I am wondering if there  
is a plug-in that can be used through NCSA or NRPE that will allow me  
to run an event handler script on a remote system.


 Thanks,
Zeke
