Re: [Nagios-users] Quick Question About Nagiostats Utility
To answer your question, we dump perfdata using perfparse to a central mysql database for trending and analysis. As you mentioned there are several good graphical trending tools out there but having the data in a relational database gives us a good bit of flexibility about how that data is used and presented. I can make quick work of creating a perl wrapper script to format the output I just was wanting to find out if the max service latency returned by nagiostats was based on a 5 minute average or not. Thanks for your input however, I'll have to evaluate some of the other tools sometime.

I do see the MRTG Integration definition example uses a label of Max 5 Minute Latency so I'm assuming min/max/average values are past five minutes and not since the last restart of nagios or some other interval. In this particular case the version of nagios would be 2.12. Does anyone know a definitive answer to this one or did I just overlook the answer?

OK, I was being lazy and found out how it works: If you are authorized for all hosts you can view all hosts and all services. If you are authorized for all services you can view all services. If you are an authenticated contact you can view all hosts and services for which you are a contact. Global Host Information Access Format: authorized_for_all_hosts=,,,... Example: authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,theboss This is a comma-delimited list of names of authenticated users who can view status and configuration information for all hosts. Users in this list are also automatically authorized to view information for all services. Users in this list are not automatically authorized to issue commands for all hosts or services. If you want users able to issue commands for all hosts and services as well, you must add them to the authorized_for_all_host_commands variable. More information on how to setup authentication and configure authorization for the CGIs can be found here.

Escalations might be useful here. If the host has been down for some amount of time an escalated notification could be sent out. You probably don't want to just increase max_check_attempts as that's only preventing nagios from doing other things for a longer time. > The other option would be to remove the host-check command for these VPN's > and just alert on a service for check_icmp that is configured the way I > want it.
