So there is no way of getting just the host down alert when a host goes down ? To explain a little, lets say I'm monitoring CPU, memory and disk space on a host. The host goes down and Nagios sends an alert by email for the host down event and also for the CPU, memory and disk space events. All I need to know about this event is that the host is down. Just think that it's not neccessary to send an alert email about services on a host that is down. /Arnar <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Marc Powell <marc@ena.com> 05/31/2009 03:53 PM <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td>Nick Hasser <nick.hasser@gmail.com> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td>nagios-user Mailinglist <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> <tr valign=top> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td>Re: [Nagios-users] newbie question...</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt> On May 31, 2009, at 10:09 AM, Nick Hasser wrote: > I haven't had a situation like this yet, so this is more a theoretical > question, but how do you monitor services which are provided by > redundant servers with failover (i.e. services are still up when a > particular physical server is down)? Using the check_cluster plugin is most common. You monitor the individual machines and services and check_cluster reflects the overall state of the service being monitored. </tt><a href=http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/clusters.html><tt>http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/clusters.html</tt></a><tt> -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
