Yes, we use DRRAW as well. However, running those cal's, and then graphing within Nagios or DRRAW or pnp4nagios would be nice. I guess it is an export from RRD, do the calc's, and review outside of Nagios/DRRAW/pnp4nagios kind of thing? Thanks, SHD -Original Message- From:

I can't see any problem with the config below. If you have dozens of checks set up this way and they are all set up in crontab to run at */15 then you will get a storm of checks at each 15 minute intervals. I normally make sure I stagger the checks in cron so that they are reasonably evenly

Hi all, I'n planning a nagios deployment at the moment but I am new to Nagios and would like to confirm that it has the features I require. I've used Nagios in the past but have never set it up from scratch. I've also been playing with Lilac over the last couple of days but I think a Nagios

I don't use localhost in any host or service configs. There is no use for localhost, since it is such an ambiguous hostname. In a distributed setup where there are multiple sources feeding data into a single server, *every* host name must be unique, otherwise they clobber each other's data (as
