The timing of this has to be done carefully so as to avoid any problems, but it is eminently doable. I know this can be successfully accomplished as I was hired as a consultant for a large university client in Upstate New York, where I gave them the ability to reconfigure their Nagios instance on the fly without having to restart Nagios. It updates the CGI screens, the notifications, everything. </blockquote><div> Seeing such an eventbroker module would be nice, as it would solve a lot of requests. Since all such modules are derivatives works of GPL'd code, they should be GPL'd too. Is the code available somewhere? </div></div>-- Andreas Ericsson <a href="mailto:andreas.ericsson@op5.se">andreas.ericsson@op5.se</a> OP5 AB <a href="http://www.op5.se">www.op5.se</a> Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace.
