Re: [Nagios-users] check_period host - service inheritance
I do use templates heavily now. I would still need 50-100 service definitions, they would just be smaller. Just want to try a cleaner approach, I curious to know why we use inheritance in some places and not others. Thanks for the suggestion. mlr On Tue, 10 Aug 2010 13:16 -0500, Greg Borbonus gregborbo...@gmail.com wrote: What about using service templates? That way, the check_period and such are all setup with service template directives, and your service only has to define the command and such.

I have a use case to have a single service defined for 1000's of different hosts with up to 50-100 different check_period times. The only way to do this now is to create a different service with each check_period. To do this, I would need to create 50-100 different service definitions for each check_period. It makes much more sense for the service to inherit the hosts check_period value and use this for the service. This allows me to only define one service. Does anyone know of a way to get this to work, or has anyone created a patch for 3.2.x to do this?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios SNMP
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 very well. As long as the output of the agent/plugin conforms to the Nagios requirements: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/pluginapi.html You should be ok.

Re: [Nagios-users] question about notifications
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 wrote an SNMP disk check that puts the threshold in the email alerts: DISK WARNING - [Threshold=90%, 91% full,4.9gb free on /home] and also the Nagios status page: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/image/429 The bottom image is the HTML version (can toggle in the agent) that includes the tiny blue image. Mouse over that and the threshold pops up in a comment tag.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios SNMP
I'm not aware of any good SNMP tutorials. Your best bet is probably the Wikipedia entry for SNMP (which focuses more on the protocol and less on using snmp to actually monitor stuff) or the net-snmp project's FAQ and documentation (http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/docs/FAQ.html). Your first step should be to determine if the tools from net-snmp are able to successfully scrape data from the target device. Once you're able to do that using the 'snmpwalk' or 'snmpget' set of commands, you'll be in good shape to have Nagios pull information from target devices. Trying to debug SNMP through Nagios is far harder than doing it via the commandline. -Gius -Original Message- From: Luc MAIGNAN [mailto:luc.maig...@winxpert.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2010 8:24 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios SNMP Well, in fact no.

Re: [Nagios-users] CISCO Catalyst MIB's
It depends on the plug-in you choose to use for monitoring. Most plug-ins just use the OIDs, so there is no need to keep the MIB local.
