Hi,
On first glance, I liked the nested config example, but after thinking
about it for a little while, I'm starting to lean toward specifying
the service_sets per service. In cases where multiple groups
contribute to the Nagios configuration of an entity, doing this will
allow each group to "subs
Must have been my bad luck. It seems to be up now.
Disregard complaining. Acquire plugins.

I'm having issues getting to the exchange, and according to the
all-knowing, all-seeing powers that be
(http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/exchange.nagios.org), I'm not

Any knowledge of the issue or ETR?

I'm getting a 302 whenever I try to connect to the Nagios community
site (http://community.nagios.org/) as linked to by the main site.
Is this related to the wiki issue or something else? (Or did I not get

Bah! If you don't have an event handler that fences the misbehaving

Do you mean that you can't do it if you go to Services or Hosts, or
you mean that you really do want to disable notifications and downtime
for *truly* random hosts? Because I don't think there's a whole lot of
use cases matching that.

If you're in the habit of compiling things from source on a distro
that uses package management, it's not too hard to set up your own
internal repository. With CentOS, it's farcically easy. The "hard
part" is making an RPM, and even that just takes a little time to
figure out.

Have you considered adding your upstream router as a host, and making
it the parent of your remote hosts?
Also, remember to take off the 'u' notification flag of the uplink's
children, otherwise you'll still be buried under a pile of
notifications.

Have you verified that your MTA is operating correctly? Try sending
mail from the command line (echo "test 1" | mail -s "test 1"
em...@address.com) and see if that goes through, before you suspect

Like anything else, the thin clients have to be able to report,
somehow. Given the fact that there is a Wyse MIB (
http://www.oidview.com/mibs/714/WYSE-MIB.html ), I'd wager they
support SNMP, and thus could probably be set up like any other network
accessible host.
Also, there's a chance (though
Try this from a command prompt:
telnet localhost 80
then if it connects, type
GET / HTTP/1.0
and hit enter twice.
Paste the output. For instance, mine looks like this:

We use email and SMS to deliver notifications. We do it the cheap way,
which is by using our cell provider's SMS gateway. We're in the
states, so we can get away with that. I have heard that it might not
be the case that cell providers offer a gateway service.

Hi All,
I'm attending the 2010 Professional IT Community Conference
(http://www.picconf.org) being held in New Brunswick, NJ, and I'm
giving a talk about staying sane while working with the Nagios
configuration.
The talk will be 45 minutes long, and will primarily be an outshoot
from this article
Yes. And you can simplify this by running ssh-copy-id as the Nagios user:
--
nag...@monserv:~$ ssh-copy-id remu...@remhost
remu...@remhost's password:
Now try logging into the machine, with "ssh 'r...@webdb1.int.ia'", and check in:
.ssh/authorized_keys
to make sure we haven't added extra keys
If you have snmp enabled on the hosts, you can pull that information out:
~$ snmpwalk -v 2c -c COMMUNITY myhost.mydomain.com
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.3309
HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSWRunName.3309 = STRING: "crond"

Alright, so going through all of the things in my generic-services

It strikes me that if there isn't one available and relatively up to

By default, at the top of your commands.cfg file, you'll see things
like "notify-host-by-email" and "notify-service-by-email". Those are
commands that work in conjunction with the configuration specified in
contacts.cfg.
Essentially, all of your services and hosts have or inherit a

You could write a wrapper around the plugin to check the time of day

Do you want to monitor whether they ran correctly, or whether the

As Patrick Morris suggested, it's possible to include the
acknowledgement text using the $SERVICEACKCOMMENT$ macro. Just insert
it into the proper place in your "notify-host-by-email" command
definition.

My first guess would be that there is some sort of environmental
variable being set when you log in that wouldn't be set when you
aren't (ie, when Nagios triggers it). Are you using keys that have
passphrases, maybe? Can you give us a look at the contents of
check_by_ssh?

What manufacturer / model of blades do you have? There are sometimes
additions to ESX(i) that can be implemented (such as Dell's
openmanage) that provide interfaces to monitor hardware.

Would you be willing to share this script? I asked a question a while
back on serverfault
(http://serverfault.com/questions/21121/nagios-alerts-by-telephone)
and this could be useful to a lot of people (assuming I'm not missing
a general solution that's out there and just not known by me).

Are you able to ssh to the remote machine as the remote user? I've
been bitten by not having the remote host in my nagios user's
known_hosts file, and my scripts get prompted, and for some reason
that stops me from obtaining statistics ;-)
