Some of the checks the check_http will be fine, since it is hitting a page that accesses the DB layer, so it's a full check. Once we start talking synthetic transaction monitoring, (e.g. trying to monitor what an end-user is seeing in terms of query response times, page latency during a work-flow p

Thanks for the info Wes, As it appears to work OK I'll try it out on my new box before it goes live, I was a bit cautious with all the warnings about un-tested consequences etc. Can you not do your web request with the check_http plugin, or does it require something a bit more complicated? And

Hmm, that's bad news. In other time settings within in the config you can set "seconds". I only did this in my new Nagios server build which I haven't gone live with yet - the config checker doesn't throw an error so I'd assumed it was valid. Anyone else know this - In my case what I'd like to
