For doing this, you have to describe an appropriate command in commands.cfg file, which will have this java program as an entry in command_line. This command can be called from a service for any machine. Personally, I dont think that executing a Java program through nagios is a good option. As every time this command is called, a jvm will be initiated which will consume pretty substantial system resources. -- Ankit <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>"Venugopal S" <venugopals@aztecsoft.com> 01/29/2009 07:00 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>[Nagios-users] calling a java program from nagios</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> Hi, For some purpose that was not served by nagios, we have written a java program. One of our client requirement is that this java code (if possible) has to be integrated with nagios so that all the purpose is solved(apparently) by nagios framework. Any input is appreciated.
