nagios Monitor

[Bram Gillemon]

What i've done to check if my nagios setup is still working is, i configured a HTTP check, to check a page somewhere on a server, it's a simple php page, you can find it on the following url.

http://bugoff.be/wp-content/uploads/monitoringcheck.phps

then create a cronjob on the server where you put this file to check if the file is updated.

 */5 * * * * cd /var/www/; /usr/bin/php -f monitoringcheck.php cron

At present Nagios monitors and alerts for problems but if anything happened to Nagios server we would not necessarily know. I toyed with idea of setting up a dummy check that alerts at certain time each night but that seems a long winded way to achieve certainty. Maybe I need a separate application just checking Nagios server.
