Greetings, all. I'm in the process of transitioning from Mon to Nagios, and have a few holes to fill in when it comes to "recreating" our old configuration. I was hoping someone could comment on this one:
In our old system, we monitored the health of our connection to the Internet by checking packet loss and round trip times in ping packets sent to www.google.com and www.yahoo.com. Because either site was liable to have localized, temporary problems, we only triggered an alert if all of the sites we were pinging were experiencing a warning (which usually meant there was a problem with our connection, as opposed to one with theirs). In Mon, this was done with a config option that said "only consider this group of hosts to have a problem if ALL of them have a problem." So far, I can't find a way to do this in Nagios; I tried it with host dependencies, creative check plugin setups, etc. and can't seem to do it reliably/gracefully. Any thoughts or recommendations?
