Force notification?

[Mike Koponick]

I'm sure others may have more information, but in order to create a
notification you need to "create" a hard state change. Having said that,
you would need to run some sort of check command that would check what
you wanted, in your case it would be a number of named process.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Force notification?

 

 have read as much doc on notifications as I can find. Everything refers
to the idea that Nagios will send notifications for hosts or service
that experience a HARD state change. Well, Ok... but I want to monitor a
service, say a process by name on an nrpe monitored server. If the
number of that named process drops below X I want to get a notification.
Is this possible or is there some way that I can force that situation to
CREATE a HARD state change? I always see it in the logs as a SOFT change
and of course, no notification. 

 

Any advice very much welcome.
