Look at the docs, there is a template bash script to get you started. That is what I based my event handlers on and it makes much more sense. You can choose when to do certain actions, not every single time the status changes which can be a heck of a lot. For example when one of my known problem websites fails, the event handler only fires if it's critical and the plugin output tells me that a certain condition has occurred. I don't do anything when it's a warning state or a soft error or if the service check just timed out as sometimes happens since the website isn't down or broken. Otherwise a congested pipe that causes the service check to time out and temporarily go critical then results in you trashing the website and kicking out users! Follow the white rabbit... I mean... follow the docs... -h <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">Hari Sekhon </pre> Marc Powell wrote: <blockquote cite="midA7B0A9F02975A74A845FE85D0B95B8FA0663DD9C@misex01.ena.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap=""> </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">-----Original Message----- From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</a> [<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="mailto:nagios-users">mailto:nagios-users</a>- <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:bounces@lists.sourceforge.net">bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</a>] On Behalf Of edalB Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 7:46 AM To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> Subject: [Nagios-users] Event Handlers Hi all. I have created a event handler as a test to see how it works.

You need it either there or in this definition. Enabling event handlers in nagios.cfg isn't sufficient. You need to tell nagios which services it should actually run them for. </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">And the command define command{ command_name restart-httpd command_line /usr/bin/ssh -p 222 -i /home/nagios/.ssh/id_dsa <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:eugene@imap-1.rba.ispafrica.net">eugene@imap-1.rba.ispafrica.net</a> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 res tart } So now nagios still does not want to execute my command </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> You really should follow the documented methodology for event handlers (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/eventhandlers.html">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/eventhandlers.html</a>). I'm not sure the above is going to work and if it does, it will attempt to restart httpd on any kind of status change, even WARNING -> OK. I'm sure that you don't want that. Additionally, if you follow the documented way you can easily send debugging output to a file so that you can see if your event handler is being run, how and what it's doing. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
