Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios with MySQL support


I've tried the online forums over the past weeks, and have had no
response.
 
Using Nagios, configured with the xdata option, and a MySQL database
appears to work well from the monitoring views, however...
 
No external commands can be used. This means I cannot acknowlege an
alarm, schedule downtime, send a passive check or leave a comment - all
things that I need to do in order to run the tool as expected.
 
When attempting any of these commands via the web page, I get the
response:

	Sorry, but Nagios is currently not checking for external
commands, so your command will not be committed!

			Read the documentation for information on how to
enable external commands...
	

I've looked through the documentation, but it is not focused on the
MySQL implementation. Can anyone lend a had with getting past this
configuration issue? Is it possible to use external commands via the web
interface? I have set downtime in the database itself, and after the
endtime, it is removed from the database table, so all appears to work
well from that aspect.

The ability to check for external commands is independent of the storage
mechanism you use. Information on how to enable external commands is
documented at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/extcommands.html
and works with flat file or database storage.
