[Nagios-users] Create services dynamically for a specific host

2011-03-16 Thread Anand, Sakshi
Hi, I have some 150 services that I wish to monitor using passive checks to Nagios. Is it possible for Nagios to dynamically display these services as it received the check without specifying the exact service name in the configuration? Please suggest if there is any way out to get this done.

I don't know if nagios can do this by itself, but with tools like puppet or cfengine you can do it. 2011/3/16 Anand, Sakshi sa185...@ncr.com Hi, I have some 150 services that I wish to monitor using passive checks to Nagios. Is it possible for Nagios to dynamically display these services

This is something you could write, to watch the logs and create the service config files for services it doesn't know about, but would require some knowledge about what services you had coming in. It could be an interesting add-on. Dan From: Jarlath Lyons [mailto:jarlath.ly...@tideworks.com]

no. you have to define the services before Nagios can display them, otherwise Nagios won't know where the passive checks it received should go, this is the rule. but maybe you can do a trick: while a passive check occurs, create a config file dynamically for the subject service, restart Nagios to
