Yea, binary logs can be a pain to, I am working on a global event handler for purging. Syd -- Syd Alsobrook IT Tag Team, Inc. 518-362-1291 http://www.ittagteam.com -- Are you an open source citizen?

You need to look in your ndo2db.cfg file for the entries: max_timedevents_age max_systemcommands_age max_servicechecks_age max_hostchecks_age max_eventhandlers_age It is recommended that you set these to a very low value. If they are too high you will have other issues with nagios appearing to hang while the DB is cleaned.

I am doing this but in the reverse. I am using twiki and I have a custom php stub that I include in the page that does a query pulling data from the NDOUtils database. And since Nagios is configed with lowercase short host aliases and twiki use WikiSyntax I wrote a php url converter to take the wiki page name and convert it to links and includes that map to Munin and Nagios. In Nagios you could use a custom variable to hold the service and host wiki page names and use a group based extended info object to point to the wiki page.

Have it initiate a dial back every hour or so. Have you master server throw an alert if the passive checks are over 1.5 hours old.

I have a central management server. It runs Nagios, Munin, Cacti, and
Syslog-ng. I have Syslog-ng configured with these lines.
# Begin
source remote { udp(); tcp(port(514) keep-alive(no)); };
destination remote_hosts
{ file("/var/log/remote_hosts/$HOST/$FACILITY.log"); };
log { source(remote); destination(remote_hosts); };
# End
These lines configure Syslog-ng to accept connections from remote systems and
place the logs in to a host specific directory. I run syslog-ng on all my
linux servers.
I have not setup the monitoring yet, it is on my todo list. There are a number
of log checks in the Nagios Exchange.
Enjoy,
Syd

It would be better to use syslog-ng and have all your servers, routers, and switches send there logs to your Nagios server. Then you can check the logs centrally.

To minimize service definition duplication I use service and host groups. One example is that I have a host group for any debian servers and in the config I assign all the services that should be a part of what I call the base os including a combonation of snmp and nrpe services to that host group. Now when I stand up a new debian server I add it to the debian host group and it automatically get 8 services assigned to it. As for the web based config tools. I have never found one that worked the way I like to config Nagios and I have been doing it for almost 10 years.
