Yeah, Marc; I know better than to tailgate; I just forgot to delete the
IRT header.

 If nagios dies in such a way that the status_file still exists, no.  
 You might consider running check_nagios (from the plugins distrib)  
 from cron.

Aha.  I presume that's something independent of Nagios that removes
that file if it can't find a running Nagios process?  I'll check it
out; thanks.

  And, what about Naomi?
 
 She threatened a restraining order the last time I called. I just  
 stalk her now...

Haw.  :-)

[Nagios-users] Nagios can die and still update the CGI date?

2008-07-14 Thread Jay R. Ashworth
So, see, I thought the Last Updated date on the CGI status screens came
from Nagios itself, not from the CGI.

Turns out my Nagios console had failed to restart the process on a
boot, and I didn't realize it until a full disk prompted a fire drill
an hour ago.

Does the CGI not at least scream somehow if there's nothing running
behind it?

Should I already know this answer?

And, what about Naomi?

Cheers,

It's been discussed in the past, I'm sure.

 And, what about Naomi?
