Couple Of Newbie Questions

Host Assumed To Be Up is the initial status until there is actually a
problem with the host.  It won't check the host itself until there is a
problem with a service on that host.  That is why you should always have
at least one service defined for a host.  Ping is a great one to use.

On the Trends graph, it only logs changes.. so you may want to say
Assume Initial State and set it to Up.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Couple Of Newbie Questions


Hi All,

I am new to Nagios, and so far I set up the system to monitor some of
our servers and switches etc. and it is working very well indeed.
However I have a couple of questions which I hope someone might be able
to help me with:-

Nagios Version - 1.2
OS - Redhat 9.0

1) Whenever I look at the host detail screen I see the servers and
switches etc. all in green and all online. However the Status
Information column simply says (Host assumed to be up). Is this normal
or can I change a setting to get a more accurate response?

2) Whenever I look at the Trends graphs they are all blank or showing
offline, even when the device is online and responding to queries. I
have spent a couple of days on this one but still not managed to solve
it. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

3) Finally, and this a beatification question. I see from the screen
shots on the nagios website that the 3-D status world screen can have
the small boxes as the icon for the device and not just a green box with
an icon overlaid on top. Does anyone know what to change to make this
happen?

Many thanks in advance for your help with these matters.

Jez
