How to reschedule multiple/all services at once

[andrew.ford at wellsfargo.com]

I usually combine the classic external command scripts with a smidge of perl to grab the members of the hostgroup that I want to trigger something for.

If you give the following script a hostgroup name, it will grab the members from objects.cache:

#!/usr/local/nagios/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my $hostgroup = $ARGV[0];
# here's the spot where I should be checking that $hostgroup is defined...
open my $objects,'<','/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache' or die "Failure opening objects file: $!\n";
$/ = '}';
while (<$objects>) {
    if (/hostgroup_name\s+($hostgroup)/gs) {
        /members\s+(\S+)/gs;
        my $members = $1;
        my @members = split /,/,$members;
        for my $member (@members) {
            print "$member\n";
        }
    }
}
close $objects;

When you run that you get a list that you can feed to your external command script.
Here's the idea in shell on the command line:

bash# for x in `get_hostgroup_members big_switches`;do trigger_service_script $x;done

Hi everyone,

>From time to time, I need to restart or reschedule all services to verify that some new checks or new hosts are working properly. Is there any easy way to do that? I have a large number of hosts and services, so it would be tedious to click through a bunch of links via the web interface. Using external command is not very feasible as well because I would have to have all host names and service names for the command line commands.

I have seen a pretty good idea on Icinga, a Nagios fork, for this purpose. It has a checkbox associated with each service check and a select-all checkbox to select all checkboxes.

hehe. you just made ricardo and rune proud :-))


It would be useful to have that on the Nagios Core, but AFAIK there isn't any.


for the problem itsself - try OMD. nagios, icinga, shinken as core available whilst the gui decision is up to you.

Thanks in advance,
