Is it possible to define a host using URL rather than IP address?

What i have done in the past is,
a) create a host for www.example.com
b) ceate a host group - External
c) stick www.example.com in Eternal group
) add service check to host
Yu can then add numberous external checks into the group or check other
services on the host.
Seemed to make sense that way for me back then

No , you don't have to define a host .
you define a service check with the fix parameters ( as i gave
in the
previous mail ) and assign this check to an existing host .
that host will execute the check and report the status returned
from the
command ( personally i'd run it from the nagios server itself) .

Not nessaceily .
If you have that website in your network , you can just define
the
check_http check to that host.
also you can add in one of the parameters the specific URL you
wish to
query .
-u, --url=PATH
URL to GET or POST (default: /)
Or you can define a check on the nagios server it self to
query the
web
site like this :
# 'check_website' command definition
define command{
command_namecheck_website
command_line$USER1$/check_http -H www.website.com
}
If not , then you need to build a new host definition and
service
check
for that host .

Re: [Nagios-users] How to monitor Equallogic PS SAN with snmp?

I'm curious to know what can be monitored on the SAN through SNMP and how I would go about setting it up with Nagios. Would I need an equallogic specific plugin for Nagios? Thanks for any help. You have to check what exactly you want to monitor in your SAN, then find the according OID (Object ID) for that value. Then, make sure your nagios-server is snmp-ready, by installing perl-Net-SNMP, and compile check_snmp. (Maybe you also need net-snmp and net-snmp-dev, I'm not quite sure.) Set a password (community-string) on your SAN for snmp-read. It might already be set to public (I personally don't like default passwords.) You might need a customized MIB for that device which you should probably get from the manufacterer or which is somewhere on the Driver CD for your SAN. (Read some documentation on MIBs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Management_information_base) The MIB should tell you, what can be monitored. If you have Hostname, OID and a valid password, as well as a working plugin (check_snmp), just stick to the documentation on http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_snmp or have a look here (http://www.superk.org/index.php/Nagios__Windows#Monitoring_with_SNMP) for another example. You won't need an equallogic-specific plugin, thats the nice thing about snmp. You'll just have to define some custom commands and services for your equallogic stuff.

Every manufacturer who builds a device can define his own OIDs and put them in a so called MIB for that device. There is also a standard-MIB (called MIB2), which defines common stuff. Take a look here: http://www.et.put.poznan.pl/snmp/mib2/mib2.html What you need to do, in order to determine, what information you can get from your SNMP-capable device (your SAN), is to use some sort of MIB-browser (either graphical or console-based), feed it with the MIB of the device you want to monitor, and browse the OID-tree. The MIB translates those weird rows of dots and numbers into something human-readable. (OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2 could be an interface description, for example.)

[Nagios-users] Setting up statusmap icons
I'm fairly new to nagios and running nagios 3. I want to configure icons on my statusmap and have a couple questions. First is about the location. The nagios documentation says the default location for the images is /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos. I have the book Building a Monitoring Infrastructure with Nagios by David Josephson and it says the icons are expected to be in the webroot/images/icons directory. So where should I store the icons? Secondly the documentation says in nagios 3.x extended host information definitions can be added to the host definitions. So in the host definition I would just include statusmap_image and the name of the image file? What I would really like to do if possible is tie the icon to my windows server group rather than having to go through and edit every single host definition. It isn't a huge deal but would be easier.

Re: [Nagios-users] Setting up statusmap icons
Thanks to both of you for the information. I guess I will have to play
around with the x and y coords and see how it goes. Seems like there
would be an easier way.
One more quick question. Where do you get your vrml icons for the 3D
map? I don't see any on nagiosexchange and when I tried to use ones from
the nagios base package they look like garbage.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Setting up statusmap icons
I'm fairly new to nagios and running nagios 3. I want to configure icons
on my statusmap and have a couple questions. First is about the
location. The nagios documentation says the default location for the
images is /usr/local/nagios/share/images/logos. I have the book Building
a Monitoring Infrastructure with Nagios by David Josephson and it says
the icons are expected to be in the webroot/images/icons directory. So
where should I store the icons?
Secondly the documentation says in nagios 3.x extended host information
definitions can be added to the host definitions. So in the host
definition I would just include statusmap_image and the name of the
image file? What I would really like to do if possible is tie the icon
to my windows server group rather than having to go through and edit
every single host definition. It isn't a huge deal but would be easier.
Thanks for the help and glad to be joining the nagios community.
Josh
