Hi,
Sorry for late answer, very busy and not so much time to play around
with Nagios :-)
Anthony Montibello a écrit:
as for the personal filtering CAN/SHOULD that be done through setting
up a user login that for the Nagios CGI
then configure NagStamon with that user ID?
you could triple check nagios excange for something more similar to
your needs.
Here's my problem. When a host is unreachable (f/ex due to wan failure),
Nagios continues to do the service checks on that host. This produces a
lot of service check failure, warning or unknown (depending on how the
individual plugin behaves when the destination host does not answer at
all). Service dependency helps a bit. But service checks that are
scheduled after the wan failure, but before the 'dependant' service
check, still display inappropriate results.
What I would like to filter in the display is what Nagios already can
do, but only for notifications :
- display only 'hard' states, and not 'soft' states
- don't display service checks results if the corresponding host is
'unreachable'
I've been investigating this for a while. This problem has already been
discussed on this list. It seems there's no solution, it's by design.
Parent/child/unreachable logic is for hosts only, there's no such
relationship between hosts and services, or between services.
Maybe a smarter solution would have been to develop some event handlers
and scripts, to automatically set the status of all service checks to
'unknown' if the host becomes 'unreachable', or if the 'dependant'
service fails. But I don't have the Linux programming skills to do that.
That's why I'm thinking about doing it under Windows.
If something already exists to do that filtering, this would avoid
re-inventing the wheel just for displaying results the way I need them
Thank you for answer. Kind regards
