Hi All! We had a problem the other day where the nagios process died and no one noticed it for over 30 minutes. Therefore, I was thinking about ways to monitor Nagios itself. One simply way would be a cronjob that checks if the nagios process is running and then uses yaps or something to send an SMS. But what about cases where the nagios process is running, but for whatever reason the messages are not being processed.
I was thinking about setting up a service that is triggered by a cronjob and then sends a notification. This notification writes a flag file and every X minutes a cron job checks the age of the flag file. If the flag file is too old, it sends an SMS via yaps. Rather than re-invent the wheel, I was wondering if other people had already implemented something similar.
