Re: [Nagios-users] How to make 1 exception for 1 host when mapping services to hostgroups?

2009-09-09 Thread Janet Sullivan
So far so good, we poll 1600 hosts and around 8500 active services (mostly SNMP using ePN plugins) in 4 minutes or less :) with a non-distributed setup. We have a very steady stream of passive services in the form of traps via SNMPTT as well. What kind of hardware are you on?

Other than the methods described in the official docs (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/redundancy.html) and Merlin (http://www.op5.org/community/projects/merlin) are there any other suggested solutions for setting up redundant Nagios servers?

[Nagios-users] MERLIN with FreeBSD?

2009-08-26 Thread Janet Sullivan
I run Nagios 3.06 on FreeBSD 7.2. I'm trying to decide on the best way to setup a redundant pair of Nagios hosts. Op5's MERLIN looks interesting, but it also looks a little rough around the edges. Is anyone out there successfully using FreeBSD 7.2, Nagios 3.06 and Merlin 0.62-beta2?

[Nagios-users] check_http oddness

2009-06-01 Thread Janet Sullivan
suggestions? Check_http does work against other sites from this box, but seems to have this problem against any Flash server I try. Since ie, firefox, curl, wget, and lynx all work against these flash servers, it makes me think something is odd with check_http. Janet Sullivan, Sr. Network Engineer

? The only reason I came up with the three \ escape sequence was because I noticed that my localhost was being seen as \localhost in the error message. I haven't found any mention of that sequence on google. :-/ -Original Message- From: Janet Sullivan Sent: Monday, April 06, 2009 1:56
