It contain two steps, one is sitesummary gathering information and storing it in /var/lib/sitesummary/entries/, and the next is generating nagios setup and storing it in /var/lib/sitesummary/nagios-generated.cfg. This file is activated by using /etc/nagios3/sitesummary.cfg as the Nagios setup. > If I would like to set a time (work hours) for checking workstations > in the network, thus not getting warnings that they are down, when > they are in fact shut of intentionally, where would that go in this > setup? I'm not quite sure if such fine graded setup is easy to do, but notifications can be adjusted in /etc/nagios3/sitesummary-template-contacts.cfg. > If I want to exclude workstations that are no longer in use, where > would that go? This would be done by removing obsolete entries from /var/lib/sitesummary/entries/. You can use '/usr/lib/sitesummary/agesinceseen-summary -l' to find the entries that did not report in recently. > Can I just add nodes to nagios in a "nagios fashion" in this setup > without breaking anything? (like network-switches, printers and other > things..) Yes. I suspect a good way is to make sure cfg_dir is active in /etc/nagios3/sitesummary.cfg, and add the configuration in /etc/nagios3/conf.d/. Or you can just create a new file and list it in sitesummary.cfg with cfg_file. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
