The event handler might work but doesn't it stop executing after the service enters a hard state? 0 (At least, that's how I understood nagios 2.x to work, perhaps nagios 3.x differs in this regard.) A clever workaround to this might be to use the performance processing options built into nagios. P

[Nagios-users] Distributed Monitoring Web Interface Issue

2007-05-08 Thread Simon Marcil
I have a distributed monitoring setup. I have several servers reporting back to a central server. The central server also does a couple checks but most of it's hosts and services are disabled (because it receives the info from other servers). The problem I have is with the web interface. In the

This is an interesting solution I haven't seen suggested before. I could have multiple services where criticals are set at different levels. However, this will mess up statistics some and only works disk checks, or some sort of incremental check. Consider the RAID for stalking from the nagios2

For what it's worth, I have been looking for a solution similar to this as well. What I'd really like to see is an "event_stalking_options" parameter in nagios where the event handler is called based on the stalking options. In your case, the easiest (but probably most annoying) solution might be
