Warning Alerts

[steve f]

Another possible option that may help keep the problems in the faces of the admin is the Firefox or Chrome plugin called Nagios Checker.

A statusbar indicator of the Nagios console shows warnings, criticals in the browser taskbar.  Its a nice little tool

I definitely considered escalations; I was actually reading more
about it this morning.

 

At the moment I have alerts for Hosts and Services alerting
every 10 minutes (I am keeping the very simple function of acknowledgements a secret
for now). The other guys on my team know not to acknowledge anything until some
real work is done toward troubleshooting.

 

I was thinking of keeping it simple and hoping that a separate
command can be setup to email on warnings (I will customize the MSG that is
sent out). I figure that if this person is not keen on browsing the monitoring
systems on a daily basis, that alerting on the warnings would be a good
training mechanism for him.

 

Can there be a separate command for alerting on warnings only?

You could set up a Nagios
Escalation Notification  AKA " The Throw you Under the Bus "
Notification where a secondary group ( tertiary,  quaternary, quinary,
senary, septenary, octonary, nonary, etc )  of people (
techs, managers, etc ) get notified if an alert has not been addressed for x
amount of time.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Warning Alerts



I have an admin that does not pay very much attention to
our Nagios and Cacti servers. If he paid any attention he would have noticed a
warning about disk space on our email server and would have investigated and
solved the problem before it became critical.

 

Is it possible to setup different alerts for warnings? I
would like to setup a warning template to have a quick message like,
"Better Check Nagios!!!" And I would send these alerts to all
of our admins because this individual is more responsive when light is shed on
issues.

 

On that subject, is it possible to monitor and alert for
a sudden change in disk space? Our situation is that within 2 days we lost over
80 GB of space and it wasn't until I looked at Nagios that we became aware of
the issue.

 

Regards,

 

Austin
