Re: [Nagios-users] servicedependency problem
Good Morning, the nagios version is 3.0.6. Thanks a lot for the hint! Now it works with: execution_failure_criteria o notification_failure_criteria n Quite tricky in my case was the fact that there have been other dependencies for the same service checks trickering its execution. I think the service depencies can really be a nightmare. Is there any better way to view them apart from the config dependency view in the webfrontend?

I think I'd translate your servicedependency definition differently :- "If functionality_LB is in w,c,u state don't do functionality_cl1 because funcationality_cl1 relies on functionality_LB to be in a non warning,critical or unknown state for functionality_cl1 to work ? define servicedependency { host_name s.test.com service_descriptionfunctionality_LB <--- Parent dependent_service_description functionality_cl1 <--- Child execution_failure_criteria w,c,u notification_failure_criteria w,c,u dependent_hostgroup_name hg_test } Think of a parent-child relationship where a "child" check should only run if the "parent" is running ok. And if the "parent" is in a specific state (w,c,u) surpress the "child" check and also notifications. So functionality_LB is the parent and functionality_cl1 is the child in your case. Hope that helps / makes sense.

Re: [Nagios-users] comparing nagios and zenoss
I think this is one good reason: http://www.zenoss.com/product/pricing Cheers Joern From: Bryan Berry [mailto:bryan.be...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2010 4:15 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] comparing nagios and zenoss My boss wants me to compare nagios and zenoss for monitoring our network. Hopefully soon I will be able to set up some vms to test them out side by side. Unfortunately, I still don't have sufficient access rights to install virtualization software due to bureaucracy at my new employer. For this reason I probably won't be able to test it out until next week. In the meantime, for those of you nagios users who have used zenoss, how do you compare the two and why do you prefer/choose one over the other? Most e-mail threads I have seen discussing the two start with "I haven't used zenoss but I really love Nagios." For this reason, I am particularly interested to hear from people that have used both. thanks Bryan -- Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications problem?!?
This is the normal procedure we handle checks (if they are important) - work hours -> sms + email - off work hours -> email But for this check the customer doesn't want to read emails first in the morning to know if there were issues - he wants a sms if there was a notification over night and if so he will read his emails. That's unfortunately the requirement ...

I'm sorry if that sounds a bit trite, but I've thought the same thing myself in the past and then thought duh! -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

[Nagios-users] Notifications problem?!?
Hi, I have a nagios check that needs a special kind of notification. The check runs 24/7 but there should only be notifications during business hours (8-18) – so far no problem. But the user wants to also get a notification at the start of the business hours if there was any problem noticed by the check during the non-notification time. Is there an elegant solution of this problem in any of your minds? Cheers Jörn -- Beautiful is writing same markup.
