[Nagios-users] Nagios and DST changes

2007-02-07 Thread Andrew Laden
Heya all. With the Daylight savings time change changing this year in the US, management is going through a y2k style check of all our applications to make sure that they wont have any issues when DST occurs in the middle of march rather then the end. I think that Nagios stores all its date info

I have a script that loads in the status and comments.dat file, and looks for any services that are OK, that have acknowlege comments associated with them, and the give the option to delete. I don't consider this ready for prime time, so I havent thought about putting it up on nagios exchange yet.

[Nagios-users] Auto-clearing passive checks

2007-01-25 Thread Andrew Laden
Heya I am running Nagios with snmptraps being caught in the usual passive/volitile check method. The big downside with this setup is that those traps will never clear. I have to manually submit a passive check to clear them, which is annoying. So I want to build an active check that I can use t

Heya All Running Nagios 2.0b6. (yes I know I should upgrade, but I tweaked the CGI's and am too lazy to have to re-do all my tweaks when I upgrade) Management is concerned about people acking problems, and then forgetting about them. They also prefer emails to looking at the GUI. So what I have

Re: [Nagios-users] controlling notifications a bit better

2006-08-09 Thread Andrew Laden
One thing to watch is that HOST alerts will get sent out as soon as the host is detected down. You can play with the retry settings. But you generally need to keep those short, as a host check supercedes all other checks, and nagios will essentially pause until it determines status of the ho

Title: Service time out immediately sets hard state? Heya Running Nagios 2.0b6. I have a service check that runs fine most of the time, but occasionally (about once a day)  the check takes too long to run, and hits the Service check timeout limit. It appears that hitting this limit is tr

RE: [Nagios-users] escalations for passive checks?

2006-06-01 Thread Andrew Laden
Escalations are based entirely on alert received/processed by nagios, not on time. For active checks, the time factors control how often the service is checked, and therefore how often an alert is sent to nagios. For passive checks, this obviously doesn't hold. If you want to get around this, yo

I had a similar problem with passive checks and freshness checking when I upgraded to 2.0. I am guessing (though no one ever responded when I asked the list before) That they changed the logic. Before a stale check would trigger an active check in all cases regardless of the check period. Now
