[Nagios-users] Passive service result check, using host address instead of host name

Hi All, Is there any way to specify the host address instead of host name when reporting passive service check result. In my deployment I want to identify the hosts by their mac address as far as nagios is concerned, however user should still be able to view hostname in the nagios GUI. Is there

[Nagios-users] Restart service problem with sudo

Re: [Nagios-users] is there a way to set host min_check_attempt?

Thanks Thomas, actually I was very much trying to do at least 5-checks before changing DOWN status of an host. But this was a problem of "blocking" strategy of Nagios v1 and v2. Thus, I am waiting for v3. In fact it is in alpha stage at the moment. I can't trust it -as you can guess why- before ev

Re: [Nagios-users] RHEL4 selinux and nagios

Our current Nagios install (2.0b2) is running on an RHEL3 box. I'm setting up a new instance (2.8) on RHEL4; I set SELinux to "Warn" at install time, so that we don't get confused trying to figure out why things aren't working (we haven't had much need for SE before, but are starting to look at it

Re: [Nagios-users] Configuration tool for large environment

That can work, sure. If you are using Monarch, you can use the MonarchCallout.pm to initiate an rsync and/or scp over to the backup server and restart Nagios there. You might also check out the Goups function in Monarch - helps with distributing the config to multiple Nagios servers. Thomas

[Nagios-users] Disable Notifications for hosts in a group.

Re: [Nagios-users] Passive service result check, using host address instead of host name

Manish, If you are using a script to submit check results to the command file on the Nagios host, you could use the status.log file to look up the hostname before you submit the result. Another way would be to use a tool like Monarch or NagioSQL to store the hostnames and IPs in a MySQL DB. Then

Re: [Nagios-users] Child host notify status problem

James, Nagios should be setting the dependent hosts to an unreachable status when the parent host is down. This is the logic that allows you to suppress notification for hosts being down "downstream" of a router that fails. The most common problem I have seen with this is that the host notify o

Re: [Nagios-users] RHEL4 selinux and nagios

I took a slightly different approach to get SELinux in RHEL4 to work with Nagios. We're predominately a Windows shop and the majority of our system admins has no *nix experience at all, so I was looking for a way to get them to play nice together without modifying the policy source. What I ended

In your Nagios event handler definition, add the following after it: > /tmp/debug.log 2>&1 (e.g. /etc/init.d/mysql restart > /tmp/debug.log 2>&1) Then examine the file after nagios has run the event handler. What that should do is output any info and errors returned from the command to debug.l

Re: [Nagios-users] Child host notify status problem

Just for completeness sake, try this: stop nagios ps -ef |grep nagios If there are any nagios procs around after a minute or so, kill them. The ps should come back clean. Start nagios. See if it recurrs. I'm guessing that an old nagios process is hanging around and giving you these notifications.
