Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Strategies

I'm not sure on the ease, but it seems like it should be doable now for any service/application for which you can run a Nagios check against. The parent being the system (ping?), the next some base OS subsystem, next the app that depends on it (log file checks or some other homegrown verification),

Hi, Just my quick two cents - I've seen several times on our servers (mostly on Windows 2000) that the SNMP service will be shown as running even though the actual process has stopped responding. Then, we get a flood of pages for all of our checks dependent on SNMP and have to manually kil

It might also be interesting to see if there is a way to visually represent these service dependencies on the Status Map. I have people that are interested in viewing the status of the entire multi-tier application stack by application, but this is difficult the way it is represented now. I can c

Hello List, I have been using nagios on redhat and clones for about 4 years and this is my first debian (sarge) install. I happily installed nagios2 from sarge backports and expected things to work just fine. However the web-ui cgis kept complaining of "error: unable to read object configurati

I'm also interested in this but haven't thought about how to actually go about doing something like this. I have looked at the service dependencies but the docs don't mention what you suggest so I would expect that it doesn't work like this... yet. unless anybody else has some more wisdom? -h
