(Think MRTG and Nagios here) When using check_mrtg on a particular circuit it returns a value...say 100. The script would do the following. It would take the output of the check_mrtg plugin and if this value is greater than 100 it would run tcpdump (dumping output to a file) for 15 minutes and then stop. How does Nagios run external script files based on output from a plugin, is there a direct call somewhere? Any help or scripts can be emailed to me directly if you don't mind giving me your hard earned scripting. I'm new at this and my VP said that I have to have it working by COB Monday. Thanks in Advance for any info. Chris. </BODY> </HTML>
