best way to check one web server w/many vhosts

[Martinez Gonzalez, Francisco]

I had the same problem that you.

My solution was the following:

I make a shell script (named cluster) that execute any plugin the number of
time that ips have an host.
For example: if a host have 2 ips, the sctript "cluster" execute x2 the
check_ping plugin.

This script is very simple. If you want it, say it...


Saludos.

Asunto: [Nagios-users] best way to check one web server w/many vhosts


I'm trying to do something like this and wondering how to do it:

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name
vhost1.com,vhost2.com,vhost3.com,vhost4.com,vhost5.com,vhost6.com,vhost7.com
,vhost8.com,vhost9.com,vhost10.com
        service_description             Vhost-HTTP
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           3
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  linux-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        check_command                   check_http!192.168.0.1
        }

so multiple vhosts on one IP, I would like to check the IP to ensure it's
answering for each vhost.  Unfortunately when I tried to do it like this
nagios complained that :

Error: Could not find host 'vhost1.com'
Error: Could not expand hostgroups and/or hosts specified in service

I would really like to not have to add a host entry for each one of these
hosts.  There are only 10 in the example but in my real environment there
are hundreds.  What's the best way to do this?

Thanks
