[Nagios-users] Suppressing notifications due to Unreachable state due to parent config
I have to start out by saying I did read this, "I get lots of email from people asking why Nagios is sending notifications out about hosts that are unreachable. The answer is because you configured it to do that. If you want to disable UNREACHABLE notifications for hosts, modify the /notification_options/ argument of your host definitions to not include the /u/ (unreachable) option." I checked all of my objects for u flags with a grep -R "notification_options" /usr/local/nagios/etc/ I did find I missed a few. Just to be safe I got rid of every u flag I could find. I also disabled (I think) object caching since I was worried that a previous 'u' setting could be getting stuck as a result. I have a very basic host that tests a http connect on google.com and yahoo.com from our office named, "CableRogers" The hosts we monitor that are outside the office have CableRogers listed as a parent with "parents CableRogers" in their configs. This seems to have been done correctly since if I look at the status map, I see CableRogers being the hub for ---> host1 host 2 host3 I also have a test which I am able to break that both breaks the test for CableRogers and for host2, but regardless of the timing I still get notifications from host2. I tried testing this by specifically causing CableRogers to break, then breaking host2, but I still get notifications for host2 and there isn't a 'u' in site.

Are you saying that you can't suppress an alert that is returned as Critical? That doesn't seem to match the docs, but it makes a lot of sense re the problem I am having.

[Nagios-users] Nagios plugin for Ganglia data and NRPE
Hi, I have been wondering, there is a lot I like about Ganglia and a lot of people I have talked to agree. It is small and very efficient and not hard to expand. What I wondered is if anyone has heard of a Nagios/Ganglia plugin or even examples of people replacing NRPE with Gangila's monitor daemon? Same question goes for Cacti or Monit.. I keep wondering if anyone is trying to tie some of this stuff together?

Re: [Nagios-users] SMS gateway
Hi, This looks like a winner. Since it is a command line tool it should be easy to get working with Nagios. http://www.gnokii.org/ Others? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marcel Hecko Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 5:40 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] SMS gateway Hi, does anybody know of any HARDWARE solution into which I would just stick GSM SIM card and send SMS messages from Nagios? Something with ethernet interface - like - I would just call HTTP URI and the device will send the SMS text to the number encoded in the HTTP request (both - the text and phone number). Basically - very basic SMS gateway. With pre-paid sim card that would be just magic! Does something like that exist? Possibly with two-way communitaction? What price should I be looking at? Cheers!
