[Nagios-users] Nagios plugin to regularly reload Nagios

[David Knecht]

Hi all




A shell script such as the one on

http://www.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandinfo.php?command_id=9

might be executed as a cron job to accomplish this.





I have run the tests on Nagios 3.0.1, 3.0, 3.0rc3 and 2.11.



Thanks, David

I am trying to regularly reload Nagios to activate automatically generated Nagios configuration files. However, I'd like to run this script as a normal Nagios plugin to keep all the tasks configured at the same place. When Nagios executes this plugin, Nagios does get restarted but the plugin does not get rescheduled after "normal_check_interval" minutes. It gets rescheduled after ~"max_service_check_spread"/2 minutes instead... Only the "Nagios reload" plugin is scheduled this way. Any other plugins are scheduled correctly (that is, they retain scheduling information since "use_retained_scheduling_info" is set to "1") Anyway: How can I correctly reload Nagios using a Nagios plugin? Is there any method besides the above to regularly reload Nagios non-interactively? Is there possibly any other way to regularly activate Nagios configuration files non-interactively?
