[Nagios-users] How to Schedule regular weekly downtime?
I am monitoring a server that runs windows update and reboots every week on Saturday at the same time. Is there any way to schedule this downtime without having to go enter it every week manually? -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

Looks like a nice idea but doesn't work on Nagios 3.2 Jim Avery wrote: 2009/11/21 Les Fenison l...@deltatechnicalservices.com: I am monitoring a server that runs windows update and reboots every week on Saturday at the same time.

You will find a few utilities to try at http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Scheduled-Downtime I use the one from Steve Shipway. I like it because it gives you a web interface to add and remove scheduled entries so once it's set up you don't need to mess around editing text files. hth, Jim -- Les Fenison Delta Technical Services www.DeltaTechnicalServices.com l...@deltatechnicalservices.com 503-766-0076 -- Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

[Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services!
I had nagios working great. Checking 6 hosts and about 85 services. Then suddenly, all services on all hosts except one stopped checking. The next scheduled check is about 24 hours from the last check. I had been checking every 5 minutes. Restarting nagios didn't help.I am using a gui NagioSQL to edit my configuration files so I suspect it did something to me but I have no clue where to look except where I have already looked. What can cause nagios to just stop checking everything like that or to randomly switch to every 24 hours rather than the configured every 5 minutes? I am having to manually do force checks to get it to check. Here are some things I have checked... Hosts check_interval is 5, retry_interval is 1 Services check_interval is 10, retry_interval is 2 So where could Nagios be getting the idea that it is suppose to be every 24 hours? -- Les Fenison Delta Technical Services www.DeltaTechnicalServices.com l...@deltatechnicalservices.com 503-766-0076 -- Come build with us!

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services!
Well, so far 3 of us with the same problem on the same day. I have to believe it is daylight savings time related. My fix is to go click on each service one by one and reschedule. Then they start checking normally again. I wonder if there is anyway to force an automatic reschedule of all services and hosts for next year when this happens again?

I had the same experience yesterday. Maybe daylight savings related? At about 11pm, all the services were scheduled for 11pm the following day. I figured it was something I did wrong. I noticed that next_check time in /var/log/nagios/retention.dat was wrong. I renamed the file and restarted nagios. It worked fine after that. I using version 3.2.

[Nagios-users] Ignoring services when entire host is down
I am looking for a way to avoid notifications for all services on a host when the entire host is offline. If the host has 20 services, I am getting 21 notifications when the connection to the host goes down. Instead, I am looking for a way to get a single notification that the host is down and not for all of it's services. I have tried service dependencies but that didn't work. Is there a way to do this? -- Come build with us! The BlackBerry(R) Developer Conference in SF, CA is the only developer event you need to attend this year.
