Hi all,
I want to store the service_perfdata into RRD-tool to read it with MRTG.
Is there a RTFM available ?
We are using

_rrdtool-1.2.12
_mrtg-2.12.2,1
on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE
thanks in advance

Hi,
Actually you have to add the equipment to the service.cfg file. In fact you have to add a service for your equipment, if not, nagios will mark the host with pending status because is waiting for some service to monitor.
For example you have a router defined in hosts.cfg:
# 'router1' host de
I can't find the specific doc/FAQ that says so, but I know its been

a _service_ to that host that does yet another check_pi
I have several hosts with no associated services, and their status
bars are stuck on "PENDING" in the Host Detail cgi. check_command on
them is set to check-host-alive, and checks_enabled is set to 1. What

All,
I have only been using Nagios for a week or two. Have a system
configured to monitor a five server network. I therefore have not used
all the features comprehensively but I do see some of the points Steve

Note I am using v2.0rc2.

Dear Folks,
I am writing to report a possible anomaly/bug in avail.cgi for Nag 2.0

(RPM based on Dag Wieers for RHEL3).
The problem is that when a host has exited a period of scheduled
downtime, the 'Host log
entries' shown by avail.cgi look like

We get around this with a home-grown configuration system, which outputs not

Hi,I just restarted a server that i monitor and a lot of other services went red CRITICAL on all the other hosts i monitor. There is no dependency relationship between the servers and the one i restarted that would cause such behaviour so i wonder why all went wrong this way.
