Re: [Nagios-users] Disk Usage Report

Hi. I'm guessing that some others on the list will weigh in with some better options for you, but if you'd like to have a look at what I use, I've posted it on Nagios Exchange (http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/System-Metrics/File-System/check_disk_snmp/details). I ended up writing

Re: [Nagios-users] enable SNMP trap handling in Nagios

2011-05-10 Thread Parish, Brent
If you do need to alert on uptime, I wrote a pretty simple Perl script you could use. It's nothing fancy, but then that has the added benefit of being easy to modify! :) We set ours to alert on a couple hundred days of uptime for our Solaris boxes, but you can set warning and critical

Re: [Nagios-users] single email alert to multiple contacts?

2010-08-23 Thread Parish, Brent
Agree totally! All alerts from Nagios go to the same post-processing script we built and that's where they get shuffled off where they need to go, based on user preferences. We built a database and simple CGI interface (within Nagios pages). Users click on the preferences link and subscribe to

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios SNMP

2010-08-11 Thread Parish, Brent
Hi When you say work together, does that mean you already have SNMP running and gathering data? If you mean just using Nagios to collect data via SNMP, there is a built-in check (part of the plugins package), called check_snmp I think. I used Perl to write all my own SNMP checks and that works

Re: [Nagios-users] question about notifications

2010-08-11 Thread Parish, Brent
Hi Joel. As everyone else has already said, the best way appears to be within the agent, not the notification. I found this useful for disk checks, where the thresholds in my environment often vary from machine to machine, depending on how large the disks are, likely fill rate, etc. I

Re: [Nagios-users] Adding a line to GUI

2010-07-15 Thread Parish, Brent
Hi. If you are ok with posting it on the first (main) page, that is editable ( see the main.php file under your nagios/share directory) If you want to keep that message on all the pages (e.g. in that little gray box), it looks like that is generated in each of the cgi pages, which is

Re: [Nagios-users] Additional states in Nagios

2010-06-29 Thread Parish, Brent
Kevin gave a GREAT answer - succinct and yet informative. It sounds like he answered the first part of the question - clearing the ambiguity of the states. I interpreted the second part (the dream) as the desire to have Nagios differentiating between informational messages and things that perhaps

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios and a custom webinject.pl

2010-06-07 Thread Parish, Brent
Hi Paul. I really have no idea if this might be the problem, but it is an easy test to do. I would suggest trying to run the webinject from the command line like you have been but add a minus sign in the su: e.g. sudo su - nagios The minus sign will force it to become more like a true

Hi Davide. Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I had to wait for my plugin to be approved before it would show up on Nagios Exchange. I don't know if you have already solved you disk regex problem or not, but I uploaded the one that I wrote and use if you want to give it a whirl.

Hi. I personally like using the hostname first, then the service. Something like this for example: adams : RAM is in a CRITICAL state! It makes it easier for me to sort alerts in Outlook that way (I have a rule sending all alerts to a separate folder), so I can see everything

[Nagios-users] FW: Timeperiods and oncall rotation with UK Public holidays

2010-04-26 Thread Parish, Brent
I've been wanting to chime in on this topic for some time now, but I've done so much customization in my Nagios environment that it would be really hard to post the code. For example, my notify.pl script checks out user preferences that are stored in a database, which requires the CGI that allows
