Re: [Nagios-users] Discussion: Nagios
Hi, In past I have configured snmp traps from network devices to display in the nagios UI. I have defined only one trap service under a network device which captures all the traps sent for this device in the service, so it will always show you the latest submitted trap/message and send out an alert based on if it's a Warning/Critical trap as may be defined by you in the snmptt config file or the integration script you used. Since any critical/warning alert logs a ticket on a ticketing system integrated with nagios, we are not so concerned to see all the alerts displayed in one service. In your case if you always want to display all the incoming traps to be displayed permanently you may need to define multiple trap service under that host and in the integration script you have to map different traps to the different services which you defined. But even in that case you might have defined and mapped a cpu trap service and a fan problem trap service under a host, so the cpu and fan trap will not display in the same service but guess if the new fan trap comes it will again override the old trap and show you in the nagios UI. But in this situation there also a chance to miss a trap or unknow trap which you may not have mapped. The other way which we are using is I defined a single trap service under a host and I used to reset it to OK after few seconds or minutes of the trap submission so by default it's always OK and once a trap comes it will display it, fire an alert and again rest to OK after few seconds. Hope it helps you some what :) On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 6:31 AM, Divya Raj divisb...@gmail.com wrote: *Hi Nagios-Users,* * * *Currently, I am working with Nagios where I have integrated it with a database platform (remote machines) to listen to the alerts and display them in the Nagios Web Interface. * *Nagios here runs on RHEL.

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios init script not working on Ubuntu 12.04

[Nagios-users] How do I check ALL mount points using check_disk?
With check_disk normally you can specify something like -p /tmp -p /var which will check /tmp and /var. But if I want to check all of the mount points, should I not specify a partition (-p) variable at all? -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev___ 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

[Nagios-users] Issues with NEB modules breaking after restart
I recently just upgraded to the latest 3.5.0 release of nagios-core and just added livestatus into my environment. We are trying to replace NDO but currently have the two running at the same time along with NCPD for perfdata which as far as I know there shouldn't be an issues . The first issue I had was where Nagios would segfault every night during it's routine log rotation so I applied the 0007-fix_downtime_struct.dif patch which seems to have fixed that issue. I experienced a new issue this morning where when restarting Nagios none of the NEB modules uninitialized properly. Nagios was able to start and initialized all of the NEB modules but a few seconds later Nagios uninitialized them again. This isn't like anything I've seen before and none of the NEB modules worked after this occurred. Here is what the logs looked like. [Thu Jun 13 09:30:29 2013] Caught SIGTERM, shutting down...
