Restarting a service

[Steve Shipway]

We currently do this very successfully using Event Handlers, and a simple
NRPE agent script.  It makes it a lot easier if the Nagios
Service_Description is the Windows Service Name, then you can write a
generic event handler and NRPE plugin (since Event Handler's dont take
parameters, the only way to get the Wervice name to pass to the NRPE plugin
is from the Service_Description.  Alternatively, code a separate event
handler for every service....)

Subject: [Nagios-users] Restarting a service



I have a service being monitored that occasionally dies and needs to be
restarted.  I thought there was a way to connect an action to attempt a
restart from NAGIOS?
