People, We run a 40 servers/450 services installation and spend 3 hours per month in fine tuning. We have average 30 notifications per day, and less than 10% are false posivites. The secret? Tuning the critical/warning thresholds very carefully. In ongoing operation you can learn how is the REAL critical/warning thresholds, then adjust you nagios to them.

We run about 50 hosts with approx 400 services to check (webservice apache/mail/mysql/mysql_replica/ftp/load/procs/disks/mailq/temp/backups). Spending a lot of time to fine tune nagios, every day nearly 15-60 min , still we have 5 ~ 20 notifications a day. I have some questions, how you run nagios. How much time do you spend a day or week to run nagios ? How much notifications a day do you have ? Must be every notify a real allert or do you also have 80% notifications just for an annoying mobile telephone ring. Would be interesting to hear your idea how you run nagios. Nagios helped me a lot with uptime on my servers. No diskfull errors, no unknown downtime anymore and more happy customers. I'ts Better to spend time on nagios than fixing problems. Thanks in advance. Sjaak ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
