What if I don't want nagios to check the service but only display them in web interface?

[Daniel maher]

There is an entry in the Nagios Exchange Wiki that details how to add non-monitored objects into Nagios.

This may help you.

Subject: [Nagios-users] What if I don't want nagios to check the service but only display them in web interface?

  I have a few questions regarding nagios. I'm currently monitoring 21
  servers at work. Some of these servers contains services which are not really meant for serving or are restricted to certain
 machines.Examples are services which are blocked by firewalls that are
 impossible for nagios to check. My goal is to show all of the services
 running in every server in nagios web interface but without having nagios
 to check those services that are not really meant for public use, or say,
 do not display their critical status, last check, duration, attemp. My plan is to just put some comments on those machines why those services
 are not being check etc. Also, I want to display those services which
 doesn't have available plugins to check them in web interface,but like the above, without having nagios to check them or display a red
critical status which will just confuse the viewer with their status etc.
Any suggestions?

BTW, I used nmap -sF to forcely discover those services.



Some of the services without plugins to check them with their ports are:

auth -> 113
netbios-ssn -> 139
zebra -> 2601
ospfd -> 2604
squid-http -> 3128
netview-aix-1 -> 1661
bgp -> 179
bgpd -> 2605
daytime -> 13
time -> 37
rpcbind -> 111
ipp -> 631
https -> 443
postgresql -> cannot obtain an account to database admins
mysql -> cannot obtain an account to database admins

If you know any plug-in that can be used to check the health of the above
services, kindly include it also here. I currently use only check_tcp on
their particular ports to check if the daemons are still listening but not knowing the health of those daemons.


That's all for now.
Thank you very much.
