[NAGIOS-DEVEL] trigger a plugin on acknowledge

[Valdinger, Stephen (DOV, MSX)]

This is the exact situation an eventhandler is meant for. Why would you want to go creating another method when the logic is already laid out for you? At best you could have  the plugin spit out the name of the flag file to be removed so your eventhandler could do an rm -f filename or however you want to go about it.

Subject: [Nagios-devel] [NAGIOS-DEVEL] trigger a plugin on acknowledge

 

Hi List ! 

We'd like to trigger a plugin when we acknowledge a service problem. We don't want to use a eventhandler because this operation has to be manual. (ex : When a flag file is present in a directory, nagios raises a service problem. Acknowledging this problem will trigger a plugin that do a rm on the file.)

Is it possible to do it with the curent NAGIOS logic ? 

I 've started writing a patch to add a 'acknowledge_handler' directive in the service definition, but I don't like the idea of using a custom NAGIOS on a production sytem ...

Thx

Xavier
