 Hi,

Hi,

 Is there an option to prevent users from suppressing notifications on 
 acknowledgement?  The default option for natstamon is to not send a 
 notification, which is not ideal.  Is there a way to lock the option to 
 always send out?

That would be counter productive. The point of notification is to
direct attention to a state change. Once you've acknowledged the
problem there is no need to notify you of it again, It would be the
same as wanting your phone to continue ringing after you have answered
it.

It's possible I'm missing something, but what would be the benefit of
this configuration if possible ?

Re: [Nagios-users] programmatic access to nagios state

 Hello,

Hi,

 Is there a way to programmatically access the state of specific
 services that nagios is monitoring? I can see how one could do that
 via the web interface but that would mean parsing the html. Is there a
 more straightforward API/interface?


Nagios writes the current state in a file called status.dat

This file can be parsed to find the status of the host/service you want.

 Would you say this is a false positive?

No. It's a positive response to your check. The check is a HTTP
check, and the server is not a responding with a valid HTTP response,
hence you need to find a different way of checking it.

[Nagios-users] Distributed monitoring and dependencies

2011-02-16 Thread Henti Smith
Good day all.

I've taken over ownership of a very hacked and mutilated nagios
installation in house, and I'm busy building a migration plan and
designing the new nagios instance.

I have some questions which the documentation is not making apparent,
likely due to my lack of understanding nagios, not the documentation.

We have 3 physical locations which will be monitored, which will
likely increase, and I'm looking at a distributed monitoring setup as
described in the documentation here :

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/distributed.html

Now the documentation mentions :

The purpose of the central server is to simply listen for service
check results from one or more distributed servers. Even though
services are occassionally actively checked from the central server,
the active checks are only performed in dire circumstances, so lets
just say that the central server only accepts passive check for now

We are also looking at using dependencies between hosts and services
across all locations, which according to the documentation and my
understanding of it, might be a problem.

Execution dependencies are used to restrict when active checks of a
service can be performed. Passive checks are not restricted by
execution dependencies

Unfortunately the check scheduling logic link is still in TODO status,
so I cannot explore further.

Is my understanding correct ?

If not, can you use distributed monitoring and host and service dependencies ?

As a final question. I'd like to be able to monitor a single host from
the different locations to be able to identify links going down using
the above configuration. Would I have to configure the host 3  times
for each nagios server or is there a different way.

Regards
Henti

[Nagios-users] Cannot use swapctl in the large files compilation environment on 23bit Solaris 10

2008-09-15 Thread Henti Smith
Good day, 

I'm testing nagios from my 32bit solaris test machine and I cannot get
check_swap compiled. The config.log for ./configure --prefix=/opt/nagios
is as follows : 

In file included from conftest.c:89:
/usr/include/sys/swap.h:50:2: #error Cannot use swapctl in the large
files compilation environment

I've looked around n the net and there seems to have been issues before
and code changes were made to fix this and seems to have been tested on
solaris 9 according to the entry in Changelog. 

Does anybody have an idea how to fix this ?
