 You can specify -e OK,DATABASE_TEST_RAN_LONG, then let the plugin
 decide if it's slow or not, with the -w,  -c and -t  parameters.

Thanks.

I'd considered that. It doesn't quite match what we want to test.  I'm
thinking we may need to have a few different tests, possibly related to
one another.

If there's a 4xx/5xx error, it's a hard fail.

If there's no 4xx/5xx error, but we get the DATABASE_TEST_RAN_LONG
result, it's a soft fail, turning hard on 6 repeats.  That string
appears in our application, it's not a nagios-determined slowness.
Alternately, we might want to have a separate test for DB performance
(there may well be, I'm still digging through rules and tests).

If there's an OK result, there's no error.


The 4xx/5xx errors are exclusive of the other two possible results. If
there's no 4xx/5xx error, we've got the option of either of the other
two conditions.

So: is this a three-check test?  How would I set precedence among them?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Alert Format?

2011-02-17 Thread Dr. Ed Morbius
Possible alternate solution:

Does your cell phone and/or carrier provide MMS service?

Messages will arrive in a format more similar to email, with more
context, etc.  You still could benefit by rewriting the standard Nagios
alerts (which I find to be rather uninformative), but could avoid other
limitations of SMS (160 character limit, etc.).
