While it runs it collects a lot of info. If there are any faults the output of the script contains information which tells you what the fault is in more detail. The first line is always a summary of the condition eg STATUS OK or ERROR etc, and this is what Nagios reports as the "Status Information". Similarly to the CPU question below, I could stick this info in a log file local to the monitored host but it would be significantly better if Nagios collected this additional information returned to it and allowed me to query it. For example if the Nagios Status details shows something like Service State Information Current Status: WARNING Status Information: EWP Windsor Status - ERROR Current Attempt: 1/3 State Type: HARD Last Check Type: ACTIVE etc then it would be extremely useful to be able to click on the "EWP Windsor Status - ERROR" and be shown the rest of the details that were returned to Nagios when it ran the service check. This would then centralise the pertinent part of the logs and enable quick and easy access to pertinent information about the fault. This would be far simpler and quicker (for the Nagios user) than having to connect to the remote machine, find the log and then read it. Is this something than can currently be done or is this an enhancement to Nagios? -----Original Message----- From: Hochberg, Keith [<A HREF="mailto:Keith.Hochberg@mtvi.com">mailto:Keith.Hochberg@mtvi.com</A>] Sent: Wednesday, 13 August 2003 1:41:am To: Sam Stickland; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Monitoring CPU load - capturing process list read up on eventhandlers... <A HREF="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/eventhandlers.html" TARGET="_blank">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/eventhandlers.html</A> -Keith -----Original Message----- From: Sam Stickland [<A HREF="mailto:sam_ml@spacething.org">mailto:sam_ml@spacething.org</A>] Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2003 11:18 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring CPU load - capturing process list Hi, I'm using nagios-statd to monitor the CPU load of several machines. They sometimes record high CPU load when an engineer isn't immediately available to diagnose the problem. Is there someway of capturing and storing the results of 'top' so the problem can be looked at a later date? Or, I suppose, more appropriately (and dangerously if not done right) running arbitrary commands on the machine in response to alerts and capturing this output somewhere.
