Hello
all,
I have a couple of
questions about how nagios functions.
How does nagios
determine the host status? It seems that without any user intervention,
host status changes from pending to "Up".
I have no is_alive
checks set. So shouldn't the host status remain pending until it receives
information to the contrary? (I have passive checks set up, and another script
generates the host state information).
The only thing I can
think of is that I've set all the host addresses to 127.0.0.1 (b/c i'm using
passive checks, and not all hosts have a real IP anyway), and somehow nagios is
sensing that localhost is up, and thus is setting the host status to Up. If this
is the case, how do i disable this behavior?
The second question
I have is how to further organize hostgroups. I would like to use one nagios
installation to monitor 2 sets of machines (each with their own list of
hostgroups that might share the same namespace). What is the easiest way to
segregate these sets of machines - perhaps on 2 hostgroup summary
pages?
Thanks in advance
for your help!
