[Nagios-users] Hosts without any contacts or contactgroups

2011-11-10 Thread Brandon Phelps
What is the best practice for defining a host without any contacts or contactgroups? We use a custom application to monitor nagios which (among other things) serves as our notifier, so we have no need for nagios-based contacts, etc. Simply leaving out the contacts and contact_groups

Re: [Nagios-users] Questions on snmp checks

Hello, We are using a fairly old version of Nagios (1.4.1) which has been running great for years and is in production on 100+ servers so we are a bit hesitant to update. If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? Anyway, one minor problem is the fact that in the nagios configuration, the
