Too bad nagios doesn't simply have object configuration file options such as: normal_check_interval - how often to normally check when all OK warning_check_interval - how often to check when WARNING critical_check_interval - how often to check when CRITICAL number_of_warnings_notification - after how many WARNING checks to send notification number_of_critical_notification - after how many CRITICAL checks to send notification at any rate the external command CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL does seem to almost do what I want with one small problem: Service event handlers recieve the following 3 macros: $SERVICESTATE$, $SERVICESTATETYPE$, $SERVICEATTEMPT$, yet in order to run CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL via an external command/event handler I need to provide the following to it: CHANGE_NORMAL_SVC_CHECK_INTERVAL;host1;service1;15\n" $now > $commandfile unfortunately $host$ is not provided to the external command via the event handler. I'm not sure how to tell my external command for what host it should be changing the normal_check_interval. How is the external command supposed to know which host triggered its event handler? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
