Re: [Nagios-users] Submitting patches for NRPE

2012-02-14 Thread Mike Chesnut
I cannot find any information about how to go about submitting a patch for nrpe. The one thing I've seen is that I can open a bug on sourceforge, but I'm not sure where that gets me (and as I've learned, we don't all agree that this is a bug per se to begin with). I also

[Nagios-users] Submitting patches for NRPE (was: Re: NRPE and include_dir)

2012-02-13 Thread Mike Chesnut
Wanted to take one last stab at this topic from several months ago (I brought it up on this list last March/April). The issue, as I see it: when you use an include_dir in your nrpe.cfg, the files from that directory are loaded in a nondeterministic manner. This means that you cannot reliably

[Nagios-users] Presumed service dependencies?

2011-11-16 Thread Mike Chesnut
Is there a way to tell Nagios that I want all services on a host to be dependent on that host without having to write a separate servicedependency for every single service? I can't even conceive of a situation where, when a host is down, I still want to get notified for all of its services

I have a check that I only want to occur once a day, so I do this in the service definition: normal_check_interval 1440 However, when it fails, I want it to retry every 10 minutes, so I do this: retry_check_interval10 My default notification_interval is set to 15.

Say I have two Nagios servers. ServerA monitors all of my hosts and services, and ServerB monitors the Nagios processes on ServerA. I'd like to add a check to ServerB to let me know when notifications have been globally disabled on ServerA (via Process Info - Disable Notifications). I'm

Of course, one cannot tell what command is _actually_ being executed or which command _was_ actually executed. I pointed this out in a previous post (below). Apparently there are no workarounds for this. If I understand what you're asking about, I've used this to achieve it in the past:

2010-09-08 Thread Mike Chesnut
What transport mechanism are you using to run check_load on the remote systems? It is not 'network aware' and so the check_load binary must be installed on each remote machine and run on that machine via some transport (check_nrpe, check_by_ssh, etc). It seems to me that you are not running

I'm wondering if this is a known bug, and/or if anybody else has seen similar behavior... We're using Nagios 3.2.1 on Linux, monitoring several Linux systems. We run the check_load probe against every system. Occasionally (at non-regular intervals), Nagios will freak out and alert on the
