What about adding a comment automatically for each submitted command (attached to the actual host/service the command is for), would it be doable? It would be an auditing solution instead of a hack. It would be logged automatically. It would be viewable in the CGI UI. Generally no need to check logs for mistakes made (unless the user is malicious and sends another command for comment deletion). You'd need to filter so that you don't create comments on comment deletion commands :). What I guess is an issue, is that all services and hosts for which you've ever sent a command, will have comments attached, and a little icon saying "comments exists for XXX" on the overview ... There should be a certain comment type, probably which you could expire or type-set from the get-go so you can determine if a comment is actual or historical... -- Fridh - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ 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

I'm thinking if you're the one deciding when the service is OK or not, and not Nagios: ACK + disable active checks until you're done. That way there would be no flapping of the service, it will be considered and logged as DOWN until you decide it's working. -- Fridh - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ 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
