Hi Marcus this means that the service defination will also look like this define service{ use generic-service host_name winserver1 service_description Memory Usage check_command check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90 define service{ use generic-service host_name winserver2 service_description Memory Usage check_command check_nt!MEMUSE!-w 80 -c 90 To monitor 30 servers i need to add 30 lines.or is there any way that we monitors number of services in all hosts. <img src=cid:_1_0801AB600801A4F40033A4FE65257427> <table width=100%><tr valign=top><td width=40%>Marcus <adesperateuser@googlemail.com> Sent by: nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net04/10/2008 12:18 PM<td width=59%><table width=100%><tr valign=top><td><div align=right>To</div><td>nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net<tr valign=top><td><div align=right>cc</div><td><tr valign=top><td><div align=right>Subject</div><td>Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios help!!</table> <table><tr valign=top><td><td></table> </table> <tt>Pallav.S.Gupta@relianceada.com schrieb: > I have added my first windows machine as stated below , now i want to > add more machines , so do i need to add one more windows.cfg file with > new host definations or simply add hostname in present file windows.cfg > seperated by comma , > like > host_name server1,server2, The comma-Solution doesnt't work. > This might seem a very stupid questions to many but still as i am new to > this, so i need some help. When I had "my first nagios-day", I ran into the exactly same issue. I monitor two linux-servers which looks like this: define host{ use linux-server host_name OpenVPN1 alias OpenVPN-Server Nr1 address ovpn1.somedomain.de } define host{ use linux-server host_name OpenVPN2 alias OpenVPN-Server Nr2 address ovpn2.somedomain.de } (The template that comes with nagios is beeing used). Hope this helps a little. greetz, marcus (By the way, Pallav, a subject with just "help" and several exclamation-marks is not appropriate for a sophisticated mailing-list like this.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
