Re: [Nagios-users] status-txt: easier for other applications/services to use Nagios data

Re: [Nagios-users] Exclude monitoring in holidays
You could probably set up a time period object with a series of exclusion dates. Have the check(s) run every day except the days you dont want to run. Or you could, just before the holiday in question, put the check into scheduled down time. That could be time consumong depending on how many hosts / checks you have Here is info on doing the time period set up http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/timeperiods.html http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#timeperiod Good Luck, Steve From: leona...@lbasolutions.com Date: Thu, 3 May 2012 09:03:19 -0300 To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Exclude monitoring in holidays Hey people!

Re: [Nagios-users] Exclude monitoring in holidays
First you create a timeperiod which contains all the holidays you want to
specify. I guess you already did that.
Let's assume you called this timeperiod *myholidays*.
Now you need to exclude this from your usual check timeperiod (24x7 by
default):
# This defines a timeperiod where all times are valid for checks,
# notifications, etc. The classic 24x7 support nightmare. :-)
define timeperiod{
timeperiod_name 24x7
alias 24 Hours A Day, 7 Days A Week
exclude myholidays
sunday 00:00-24:00
monday 00:00-24:00
tuesday 00:00-24:00
wednesday 00:00-24:00
thursday00:00-24:00
friday 00:00-24:00
saturday00:00-24:00
}
As you see, the important configuration here is the exclude line. It's
actually pretty easy and you can combine many exclusions like this.

Marki,
I use the following host and service escalations to do exactly that.
It makes the first notification a text and email and subsequent problem
alerts email only, then an email and SMS for recovery
Don't know if it's the right way to do it but it works fine for me
define hostescalation{

first_notification 1

Re: [Nagios-users] status-txt: easier for other applications/services to use Nagios data
Hi, Thanks for your reply. As we know, MKLivestatus is a Nagios Event Broker (NEB) Module which can be used to extend the core of Nagios. This module can provide access to the live status information kept in the running Nagios process. It serves a unix socket for data exchange with external scripts/addons, it is stable and extremely fast. status-txt is a simple and light way to get the nagios data in plain text, it likes status-json ( http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/APIs/JSON/status-2Djson/details), try to making it easier for other applications/services to use Nagios data. I hope status-txt can be useful for those who have the same need as we did (try to get the nagios data as other easily readable format).
