Re: [Nagios-users] Using NSClient++ NRPE to check a local URI
NRPE for that? Is there a requirement that prevents you from using check_http from the Nagios server?

I know how to alter the files, but I was hoping to leave the original config file alone so the system updates could replace it if necessary. Apparently Nagios is missing the ability to replace previous definitions (also demonstrated in the problem of "undefined" causing specific behavior but not being able to undefine, such as for a no-ping host). I also haven't noticed a defined priority for configuration info, something which would be needed for an override. -- ___ 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

Re: [Nagios-users] Host down due to plugins timing out
I was able to solve the problem. I checked the ip address of the client system in the hosts.cfg file on the Nagios server, and one of the digits in the address was incorrect. Once I corrected the mistake, everything worked fine. Thanks for the help.

It's incredibly easy to write a Nagios plugin. The only major requirement is that it return a valid error code so that Nagios can interpret the results. Something like this would work: -- start check_file.sh -- #!/bin/sh # $1 = Full path of filename to watch for $ERRORCODE=0 if [ -e $1 ]; then $ERRORCODE=1 fi exit $ERRORCODE -- end check_file.sh -- -- ___ 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
