[Nagios-users] Passive host results & soft states?

2007-04-24 Thread Mike Hamrick
Howdy, Host A is a server which sends passive host/service results to host B via NSCA. When a single host check fails on host C (a machine monitored by host A) host A considers host C to be a SOFT state, where host B (the one that actually sends notifications) considers host C to be in a HARD sta

[Nagios-users] Monitoring disk bandwidth utilization?

2007-01-28 Thread Mike Hamrick
Hi! I've been unable to find a nagios plugin that monitors disk bandwidth utilization, does anybody know of one? It seems like it would be relatively straightforward to wrap a nagios plugin around a utility like iostat or sar, but I thought I'd ask if anyone had done this before I dive in. Than

[Nagios-users] Separate notification_interval for warnings?

2007-01-07 Thread Mike Hamrick
Howdy, I have nagios set up to send notifications every five minutes. This makes sense when a service is CRITICAL, but makes less sense when it is simpily WARNING. Warnings go to a separate email alias... every five minutes. Normally during the day I acknowledge them, but during the evening th
