Hello everyone, While not specifically a nagios issue, I am setting up a nagios installation to monitor a server that is used to run an interactive application by several users at once (> 50). The problem is, occasionally the application dumps core, and the users don't always notify us when this happens. We'd like to trigger a passive alarm to nagios on our application dumping core.
On other OS's (specifically FreeBSD IIRC) the kernel logs coredumps and end up in the system log so watching the logfiles with swatch or something similar would do the trick. On my Linux system (CentOS 5.2) it appears that coredumps don't log. Does anyone have any ideas how I can trigger an event on coredump on Linux? Thanks, Tim (Just for clarification - I am not looking for a plugin - I am looking for a method to detect coredumps on Linux so I can write a plugin or preferably a swatch configuration) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
