I see what you mean. That does the trick for the time schedule and i now let cron make the scheduling. But now i got one other problem, that is:
Before a particular webapplication check can start, the associated host must be checked to be up. Only if the host is OK, the webapplication-check shall execute. So how can i do this ? I would like to add a sequence into my test script, which asks nagios someting like "What status have you recently determined for host abc?" I could of course check the host status directly from my script, but it sounds much better to me, if i could ask nagios directly for the status information. So is there any possibility to query nagios for information ? I have looked into the CGI scripts documentation. These scripts seem to return high level information but this information is allready layouted. What i am missing here is something like raw data query, which i can ask to give information e.g. as an XML-data stream for further processing in my monitoring application. Does something alike exist ? Maybe as an add-on to nagios? regards, hussayn -- Dr. Hussayn Dabbous SAXESS Software Design GmbH Neuenhöfer Allee 125 50935 Köln tel.: +49 221 560 11 0 fax.: +49 221 560 11 20 mailto:[email protected] http://www.saxess.de http://www.saxess.com http://www.saxess.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
