You can echo the necessary external commands into the nagios.cmd
file  to cause Nagios to believe there is a failure. Look up
'passive check results'.

[Nagios-users] The best way to test notifications

[Mike Koponick]

Hello all!



I have a need to test notifications on a monthly basis. We
have sections of our network that are very quiet; thusly we do not see any
alerts from these sites. The way I have been testing notification is shutting
down Nagios at the remote end and waiting for the notifications to start/end.



It seems crude to me to perform this function in order to
get a test notification. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Is
this something that could be in 3.0? 



Thanks in advance,



Mike

I set up a test service in nagios.  The service checks for the webmin
port.  Then just set up in cron to shutdown and startup webmin.  Leave
it shutdown long enough to trigger a notification in nagios.
