send a test page

[Lori Adams]

If you have the plugins, find one and set up a check that fails.

 

For example: check_mysql.  Give it a host name that doesn't exist, or
set it to a host that does exist but doesn't have mysql.

or check_http: ./check_http -H blah -u http://blah <http://blah/> .  

 

Good luck.

 

-Lori

Nathan makes a good point. This is much much easier if you're not
already setup to accept traps and you're not familiar with the snmptrap
command.

 

I am and I'm currently testing so I have snmptrap on the brain right
now.

Unplug a box? Why not just make a fake host to a nonexistent ip, with a
single ping check?

Hi all, does anybody how to send test pages to pagers from within
Nagios? I refuse to think that the only way to do it is setup a test
group and unplug a box, there's gotta be another way! Thanks in advance.
