Re: [Nagios-users] I don't understand the check_by_ssh plugin

This is branching off topic, but using ssh with keys is hardly a security hole. Please don't be throwing a bucket of red herrings into the crowd. You can configure sub processing for ssh in a similar function. AFAIK, the encryption and use of keys is far more hefty of a standards bar than using

[Nagios-users] command line parameters in service definitions

OK folks, I've been working on some of the suggested improvements for my check_iflocal plugin, and I cannot seem to get command line parameters going into the script from my service definition. When I run the below from the BASH command line it works as I would expect. But as my service definiti

Re: [Nagios-users] I don't understand the check_by_ssh plugin

I, for one, am against any use of check_by_ssh as it requires authorized keys, hence opening a security hole. All scripts can be executed thru snmp. Install it on your servers and use the exec directive to remotely execute the script. The output will return the last line and the exit code from the

Okay, I tried to compile the setsid.c, but it wanted nls.h. I tried to get nls.h, and it wanted types.h, etc etc. I searched around for a version for Solaris, which is what I am using, but I had no luck. I ended up abandoning this idea and tried the check_by_ssh, and this worked fine, so I am

Thank you Thomas, this looks like good info. I do not seem to have an executable on Solaris called setsid though. It is listed as a c function. Nrpe.cfg does in fact let you increase the timeout, but I was thinking that will not help because my program remains running in a loop. Re-iteration

Hi, (Spot the newbie time). I'm running Nagios 2.6 on Debian. The system works fine, but I'm getting more flack from colleagues about the Amount of email they get. Basically, if Nagios spots a problem/Warning/Critical, it emails out until we acknowledge the issue, is there a way to tailor N
