I would really recommend Splunk for this task over Nagios...assuming you don't generate more than 500 MB of logs per day, it's free! Assuming you really wanted to do it in Nagios, you'd probably be stuck writing your own plugin in C in order to make it fast enough to comb throw MB of logs without

Check_jabber is really just check_tcp in disguise (same way check_udp is...do file check_jabber to see what I mean.) If your jabber server sends back a string that doesn't match what is expected (as is happening here) then you're going to get a warning. Given the output below, you should be OK

Nagios performance is very much specific to your environment. Nagios 3.x is also MUCH faster than Nagios 2.x because of parallel host checks (and other features.) Our performance is summed up below but your millage my vary: Primary server: Nagios 3.0.3 Dual, quad-core processors @ 2.4 GHz and

Just use the register 0 to hide the hostgroup from the CGI's. The group will still be used in service definitions, etc. by the Nagios daemon. (this seems to be an undocumented feature and I haven't actually tested it in Nagios 3 but I used it in Nagios 2.11.) -Jake -Original Message-

Good morning! We do this by setting the retry_interval to 2 minutes and the max_retries to 10. This means that the service has to be in a non-OK state for 20 minutes straight before it enters a hard status and starts alerting. -Jake -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
