I have done exactly that; go to http://www.tntmonitoring.com for more information. The idea actually is a bit more comprehensive; rather than just writing the agent, I made it a package of agent and a number of checks that I found useful; the installer puts it all together. Admittedly, though,

This is not a nagios problem but an apache problem. That message is telling you that there is another service already using that port. You can either change the port apache is bound to in the httpd.conf file, or add another address to the server and bind apache to just that single IP. Details

The error is not related to nagios but to the Apache web server . By default Apache is using port 80 ( default HTTP) and tries to bind it . The other software you are using (Ahsay Online Backup Manager) is using the HTTP port for it's own and hnce the Apache fails to start . You need to

I have a passive service check that I need to provide an event handler for. The problem is that we have network issues from time to time that cause us to get stale results. I was hoping for a macro that provided the type of critical so I could filter it in the handler script. That doesn't

That's because you're running nrpe with inetd and not as a standalone daemon. inetd will use /etc/services and the nrpe.cfg entry won't have an effect. Regards, Martin Melin On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 7:04 PM, akp geek akpg...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks so much Marc.. I did the following 1. I

I assume by stale results you mean, results that were generated by a freshness check instead of by the actual check? Yes, this is easy to do. Simply change the check command for the freshness check. When no passive check results arrive for a certain period, Nagios will invoke this command as

Tony, IMO, the network traffic generated by the service checks is trivial in the scheme of things. Also, do you really need to worry about ALL the services on your windows box? If. say you run IIS on the server, aren't you most interested in knowing IIS Admin and WWW services are running?
