The other guys on my team know not to acknowledge anything until some real work is done toward troubleshooting.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I was thinking of keeping it simple and hoping that a separate command can be setup to email on warnings (I will customize the MSG that is sent out). I figure that if this person is not keen on browsing the monitoring systems on a daily basis, that alerting on the warnings would be a good training mechanism for him.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Can there be a separate command for alerting on warnings only?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <div> <div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'> From: steve f [mailto:a31modela@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, February 07, 2011 10:41 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Warning Alerts<o:p></o:p> </div> </div> <o:p> </o:p> You could set up a Nagios Escalation Notification AKA " The Throw you Under the Bus " Notification where a secondary group ( tertiary, quaternary, quinary, senary, septenary, octonary, nonary, etc ) of people ( techs, managers, etc ) get notified if an alert has not been addressed for x amount of time. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/escalations.html Steve<o:p></o:p> <div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'> <hr size=2 width="100%" align=center id=stopSpelling> </div> Date: Mon, 7 Feb 2011 09:54:52 -0500 From: aengelmann@libertymgt.com To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Warning Alerts<o:p></o:p> <div> I have an admin that does not pay very much attention to our Nagios and Cacti servers. If he paid any attention he would have noticed a warning about disk space on our email server and would have investigated and solved the problem before it became critical.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Is it possible to setup different alerts for warnings? I would like to setup a warning template to have a quick message like, "Better Check Nagios!!!" And I would send these alerts to all of our admins because this individual is more responsive when light is shed on issues.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> On that subject, is it possible to monitor and alert for a sudden change in disk space? Our situation is that within 2 days we lost over 80 GB of space and it wasn't until I looked at Nagios that we became aware of the issue.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Regards,<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Austin<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> </div> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
