It sounds like you're asking if you can modify the config without modifying the config, and the answer to that would be mostly no, though there are some things you can do through external commands. Those are all pretty well spelled-out in the docs. A restart for a config change isn't necessary, though. Sending Nagios a HUP will cause it to reload its configs without a full restart, and it would be a relatively simple matter, I suspect, to just have a config dir defined and drop hosts in it and pull them out (sending the HUP signal afterward, of course) as needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] 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
