This is the normal procedure we handle checks (if they are important) - work hours - sms + email - off work hours - email But for this check the customer doesn't want to read emails first in the morning to know if there were issues - he wants a sms if there was a notification over night and

VMware's version of this is VDI - it's pretty good, but it's not cheap - it needs a special kind of ESX license so you can't run those desktops on your existing servers, they need to be on dedicated ESX/VDI servers. On Wed, Oct 13, 2010 at 02:33:11PM -0700, Kevin Keane wrote: Do these virtual

Technically, they do. The programmers who use them often work when inspiration strikes. I encourage them to log out when they're done but the machines need to be available for an RDP connection 24/7. - Original Message - From: Kevin Keane subscript...@kkeane.com To: Nagios Users List

Actually the init script is not ran if you're running it via xinetd. you should look for server_args in /etc/xinet.d/nrpe (usually this is the file name) Diego On Thu, Oct 14, 2010 at 12:53 PM, Assaf Flatto nag...@flatto.net wrote: On 13/10/10 00:04, Jonathan Wiggins wrote: snip the place

There's another solution: you could setup a logon script that sends an nsca every time a user login to the server. Then, you can check the service freshness against a 1 or 2 days threshold. It's a completely different approach, but I prefer to use passive checks when I need to trigger user

[Nagios-users] Getting graphs for one host, but not another... but both in same hostgroup

I've stumbled across something odd. We're using Nagios and PNP4Nagios to get trending and graphs. I have two clients in the same hostgroup. The hostgroup name is linux-servers. Members are osiris1 and imhotep. I'm using NRPE to check each. Relevant config files are below. In a nutshell, I'm

I like the sound of that. I agree with you on the passive vs active issue. I often find that setting something up active gets me where I need to go faster and then I never get back to finding a passive way to do it. We'll need to make the modification to each of the VM's (~200) but I think that

Another option would be to check the number of logged in users via check_nt or wmi. Say you have the service check set to 5 min and the retry set to 5 min (or what ever is convenient) you then divide the time x from above by 5 and that is the number of retries before an alert. As soon as someone
