[Nagios-users] Override service notification time
Hi I am currently using Nagios with host groups to so that I can add the same service check to multiple hosts without having to create the same service multiple times, which is all working fine, the problem is that I don't want non mission critical hosts alerting staff to a service problem in the middle of the night when the problem can wait till the morning. Will I have to duplicate service config so I can change the notification periodor can I have it set on a per host basis and have that override what is set in the service template?

maybe you can check this: http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Addons/Notifications/*-Notification-Managers/Rule-2DBased-Notifier/details and see if it's what you need.

[Nagios-users] Nagios Core Log file
Hello, I was told the NAGIOS CORE logfile would log any changes made to host command execution ie: External commands:who turned off what and when. Upon examination of my logfile it sems that this is not the case. The log file indicates only that a particular service was enabled or disable but it does not indiacte the user id that performed the change. Can anyone point me in the right direction to make this happen?

You can set it on a per-host basis. If you do not define a notification timeperiod in a service's template or definition, the service will inherit its notification timeperiod from its associated host. Check out the section on implied inheritance here: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/nagioscore/3/en/objectinheritance.html I have separate host templates for my development and production servers which have different notification timeperiods, and one set of service definitions associated with both types of hosts. -- -Chris -- Nothing in this message is intended to make or accept an offer or to form a contract, except that an attachment that is an image of a contract bearing the signature of an officer of our company may be or become a contract.

[Nagios-users] check_http with multiple outcomes?
We're monitoring a local Jetty (Java webserver) process using an application
status page. When everything's going well, it includes the string OK,
which we check for. This should be a clearly successful status test.
When everything's not going well, we get some sort of 4xx or 5xx error
message. This should trigger alerts immediately.
When some things are going well and others aren't fully up to speed (slow
database), we'll get a DATABASE_TEST_RAN_LONG, which isn't ideal, but at
least for a few occurances (n = 5) we can live with. In particular, we
DON'T want a single result sounding off pagers in the middle of the night.
The current test looks like:
define command{
command_namecheck_jetty
command_line/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_http -H
'$HOSTADDRESS$' -u /serviceStatus -e 200 -s OK
}
What would be a sane process of getting Nagios to:
- Report all clear when we get a 200 status and OK text on page?
- Wait for 6 consecutive instances of DATABASE_TEST_RAN_LONG before
alerting for that result.
- Alert immediately on any cases not matching one of the above?
I don't believe we can capture this in a single test unless I'm missing
something.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [Nagios-users] Suggestions for event correlation managers?
Anyone? C'mon, don't be shy! :-) -- Trever From: Furnish, Trever G [tgfurn...@herffjones.com] Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 4:45 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Boeglin, Adam R Subject: [Nagios-users] Suggestions for event correlation managers? Hello, I'm looking for suggestions for applying Nagios' style of event handling (escalations, recoveries, acknowledgements), hopefully with some improvements (aggregation), to events coming from many different (non-Nagios) sources. I know of a few Nagios-specific notification aggregators, but can anyone recommend a good (preferably inexpensive / OSS) way of expanding that to include many other tools? I know about SNARE and RiverMuse, but they're relatively expensive. We make heavy use of Nagios as well as several other tools (MSFT SCOM, HP SIM, Oracle Grid Control, AlertSite.net, etc). They're all sending alerts in various forms to a small group of admins and engineers, so many of us get alerts from all of the tools, sometimes from more than one tool regarding a single event. Nagios does a great job of flexibly managing alerts from its own events, but I don't see how I'd hook in the other tools. Several of the tools (e.g. SCOM and SIM) don't even have any concept of event correlation -- breakage and recovery are two separate events. I see tools like SNARE, RiverMuse ECM, and a few others filling this gap, at least partially, but I don't yet have experience with them and they're relatively expensive. Anyone doing this effectively with OSS tools or low-cost tools or a good home-grown approach you wouldn't mind sharing (and possibly collaborating on)? -- Trever Furnish, tgfurn...@herffjones.com Herff Jones, Inc.
