Sugguestion/Question?

[Tedman Eng]

First off, please do not REPLY to a message if you're not replying to that

Secondly, Nagios' design separates Hosts from Services.  Nagios does not
actively monitor hosts.  Yes, it checks hosts, but it does not monitor them.
What's the difference?  Think of hosts as points or intersections along a
road, services as being houses along the side of these roads.  Nagios only
monitors houses (services).  If for some reason it cannot reach a house, it
checks to see if there is a problem in the road (host) preventing it from
getting to the house (service), and reports these findings to you.
 
If you want Nagios to work like CA's product, that can be done as well, but
you'll lose ther ability to determine where along the roadway is the
problem.  To do this, use check_cluster for your check-host-alive.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Sugguestion/Question? Re: Notifications and
acknowledgements


Dear All,
 
I am a newbie with Nagios but long time user of Enterprise Management (CA
Unicenter in particular)...
 
Here is my suggestion (not sure If i implemented correctly...) or it has
been designed this way.
 
Suppose I am monitoring a Server.... which I am trying to monitoring the
following:
      Ping, disk space, Load.......
 
And i set the threshold for my disk space.. and the disk space exceeds my
critical threshold; therefore,  the status for my Disk Space Watcher is Red
(Critical)...
 
According to what i see right now.. the status for the whole server is
GREEN.. I am not sure it is supposed to be green?  Isn't it supposed to be
RED....  because of the propagation from a child level?
 
Hope my explanation is clear enough.
 
Best regards,
Tom Tran
EESImed.

Hi, 

I'm running Suse 9.1 with Nagios 2.0b4

I have a service alerting as Critical which I then acknowledged.
Notifications were then supressed. 
However, I had to restart Nagios sometime later after adding some further
services/hosts and it seems that the acknowledgement still remains across
the restart but the notifications have started again. 

Is this expected behaviour ? I've trawled through the docs and archives but
cannot find a definitive
answer so any advice would be appreciated. 

thanks,
deborah
