I made a smart plugin for nagios that sends out a e-mail to the mailserver. The mailserver relay this e-mail back to the nagios machine. So diskfull, viruscanner down, link down etc is covered by this check. > > > > Nagios checks the primary server and puts the state in a database. > > I currently made the script using the filter_end with > @recipients and > > accessing that database.
