Were you previously testing something that gave that message?
Freshness checks or active checks perhaps? Do you have multiple
nagios daemons running at the same time, one running with the old
config and one with the new? They'd both write to the same status
file so you'd see results like this.

[Nagios-users] Exit code for NRPE connection refused?
Using: Nagios Version 3.2.2 Can check_nrpe be convinced (or hacked) to exit UNKNOWN rather than CRITICAL on `Connection Refused`? Is there a way to accomplish this without having to modify check_nrpe's source directly? Currently, NRPE returns 2 for `Connection Refused` as well as `Not defined`. In my particular use case, neither of these are considered Critical but rather Unknown.

[Nagios-users] Changing behavior of check-host-alive?
Using: Nagios 3.2.2. By default, Nagios considers a host down if it is unreachable by ICMP. From what I understand, if a host is unreachable, then further notifications for the host are disabled. We have a hostgroup that is always reachable by ICMP (the hosts are usually exhausted of memory and hard-lock) and should only be considered down if SSH isn't available. The desired behavior would be to suppress all other notifications for the host if SSH is unreachable. Is this accomplished by altering the 'check_command check-host-alive' within the host template and creating a new 'check-host-by-ssh' command in the Command Definitions?

[Nagios-users] Replacing check_ssh with check_by_ssh?
Currently, check_ssh appears to only check for a banner/listening port.
Would a more proper check be to use check_by_ssh to execute say, `/bin/true`
for example?
# check_by_ssh -H {host} -C /bin/true -l {nagiosuser}
Has anyone on the list done this and had good results?
Thank you,
-RT

[Nagios-users] Host dependencies on large deployment?
Using: Nagios 3.2.2.
I have a number of hosts (actually hundreds), each running a few services as
well as SSH.
For Host A, I'd like for all other notifications on Host A to be disabled
when SSH on Host A is critical. I would like to have the same behavior apply
for Hosts B-Z, each dependent on their own locally-running SSH.
In order to do this, does one have to generate a 'servicedependency'
definition for each service on every single host?
While I appreciate the effort put into the first image here (
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/dependencies.html), I was a bit
confused by it.
For example, for each host:
define servicedependency{
host_name Host A
service_description Load Average
dependent_service_description SSH Service
other directives
}
define servicedependency{
host_name Host A
service_description Disk Usage
dependent_service_description SSH Service
other directives
}
Is this the correct syntax?
define servicedependency{
host_name Host A
service_description Load Average
dependent_service_description SSH Service
other directives
}
Is there any way to do something like the following, as a shortcut to the
above?
define servicedependency{
hostgroup_name ^rack-[A-Z][0-9]$
service_description Load Average
dependent_service_description SSH Service
other directives
}
I'd like to avoid having an exceptionally complex Nagios configuration and
use templating as much as possible.
Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have to offer.

[Nagios-users] Change Procs Critical threshold
I have a couple of systems that are reporting critical notifications, that when you drill into them, the Service : Total Processes has been triggered. Its showing critical process level of 231, 453, for example. Which on a production server is nothing really --- my question is, how do I change that threshold level to something like 750, or 1500? Perhaps I'm not searching online for the correct term or using the right parlance. Any ideas where this can be modified? Thanks team.

If you have a look at the options for the plugin (hint: ./plugin --help), they will reveal their secrets to you. :) Then, using that knowledge, you can adjust your service check to use the appropriate values for your environment.
