Does anyone have an easy method? Using nagios-1.3 on debian Sarge with nsclient++ on XP+sp2. I tried the following checkcommands.cfg + services.cfg entries, which show when someone logs in (via rdeskto), but I only want an alert when these processes are active, which should rarely happen. It's like I only want an alert when the service is up. ============================= snip from services.cfg ============================= # Service definition define service{ use generic-service ; Name of service template to use host_name buildxp.eng service_description Live_Rdesktop_Session is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups linux-admins notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r check_command check_win_process!buildxp.eng!rdpclip.exe,wscntfy.exe,explorer.exe } ============================= snip from ============================= define command{ command_name check_win_process command_line /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v PROCSTATE -d SHOWALL -l $ARG2$ } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
