Event Handlers

[Toto Capuccino]

It really depends on what you are trying to resolve.
I am using eventhandlers with nrpe when a windows' service is down so i can
make it starts.
That happens -not so often hopefully- with servers that are rebooting due to
power failure : the Exchange Information Store service for instance is not
always up automatically (strange but still...), so with a windows shell
script i managed to get ride of users complains about not being able to get
their emails.
You can write short scripts in perl, vbscript, shell bash, whatever.
You have to know exactly how to react when problems arise and that the
tricky part beyond handling Nagios configuration.
I am newbie and would appreciate others feedback about how they use
eventhandlers, cause that's nagios power to respond to problems...the so
called proactive monitoring.
