[Nagios-users] Temporal disabling of checks and notifications for a bulk of hosts and services

2007-07-12 Thread Ralph.Grothe
Dear Nagios Users, I was forced to relocate my main Nagios server temporarily. The negative effect of this was, because the server now resides in a totally different lan segment, not only that I had to change the whole parent relations of hosts to cater for the changed routing. Even worse, was th

[Nagios-users] Why isn't Nagios notifying about a trap

2007-01-05 Thread Ralph.Grothe
Hello again, please, excuse my x-posting to two lists simultanously but I'm about to despair. I cannot find out on my own why Nagios isn't notifying about this "trap service" that I had defined like this: # Service for testing SMS notifications define service { use ge

[Nagios-users] notification_options vs. notifications_enabled in host definitions

2006-12-14 Thread Ralph.Grothe
Hello Nagios Users, neither the Nagios' online docs nor Wolfgang Barth's Nagios book (issued by Open Source Press in German, and by No Starch Press in English) could unambiguously explain the difference between the two mentioned parameters within a host definition context to me. I so far only (ma

Dear Nagios Users, I am forced to build Nagios for a legacy AIX box. Unfortunately my AIX knowledge is pretty restricted. I even don't know the package manager commands thereon to check for installed revisions of needed stuff like compiler, devel utilities and libs such as OpenSSL. I also lack roo

Re: [Nagios-users] [Nagiosplug-help] BUG: check_disk doesn'tsupport LVM volumes

2006-07-31 Thread Ralph.Grothe
Almost all of the hosts I monitor with Nagios use some kind of volume manager (either LVM on HP-UX and Linux, or VxVM on Solaris), and I have no problem whatsoever with check_disk on those. I wonder why you check the partitions (or better LVs in your case) instead of having all local mounts checke
