[Nagios-users] ACK url inside problem notification message

2009-08-26 Thread Eric Pearce
I did some searching, but I only found people talking about ack'ing via email reply. I'd like to have the problem email or SMS message contain a URL that I can click on to ack the problem. The idea is that everything is self-contained and you don't have to leave your email client or SMS

It is possible that there are updates available, but none of these are high priority, so they are not appearing when you go to the Windows Update website? Did you check the website for optional updates?It looks like some of the contributed plugins on nagiosexchange do not check the priority

I'd like to be able to remotely turn off/turn on service/host checks. For example, a remote machine could turn off a service check while running a backup and turn it back on after it is done. Ideally, this is a simple perl script, wrapper for 'wget', batch file, etc that could run on Unix or
