Are you regularly checking the hosts? (This is done by specifying check interval, retry interval in your host definitions, http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/hostchecks.html) It seems like your service checks are running, and when they go down, they trigger an on-demand host-check. For this,

Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? The normal process is, even if a host is up, the services it provides could be dead in the water. I don't think you really want this, but instead, if you want to give the service check more time to determine if a problem is REALLY a problem, increase the ma

Greetings. I've noticed something odd within Nagios. Someone will restart a server here, and as a result a service check will report an error. As a result, we can (depending on how long the box takes to get up) get an alert for every service on the box when it goes down. Is there a way to b

You could also use a new feature of Nagios 3.0, custom variables: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/customobjectvars.html Be interesting to see if that works appropriately. Taylor On Thu, Aug 21, 2008 at 6:18 AM, Tobias Gunkel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there! > > I'm using Nagios 3.0

Hi there, you should really read the Nagios documentation to understand how the configuration files work. You'll need to create a file on your own with your netware server declarations and services you want checked on them. Then specify Nagios to read that config file with the cfg_file directive

You can use SNMP to monitor if the equivalent process is running and how much memory/CPU it's using. Microsoft haven't implemented specific Radius data on theirs enterprise MIB.
