Force notification?

[Aaron Segura]

The change becomes HARD after max_check_attempts, no?  So just set
max_check_attempts to 1.

 

??

Well... I have nrpe running on the box where I want this process
monitored. So perhaps I didn't explain well enough. The check I need for
the named process is easy enough using check_nrpe/nrpe and the
check_total_procs plugin with the -c "command name" for the process
itself.  So the check is working fine but even when it fails basd on my
threshold values for the # of these processes I want to see, the state
change is only SOFT - critical. 

 

Does that make more sense?

 

Thanks...

	I'm sure others may have more information, but in order to
create a notification you need to "create" a hard state change. Having
said that, you would need to run some sort of check command that would
check what you wanted, in your case it would be a number of named
process.

	 have read as much doc on notifications as I can find.
Everything refers to the idea that Nagios will send notifications for
hosts or service that experience a HARD state change. Well, Ok... but I
want to monitor a service, say a process by name on an nrpe monitored
server. If the number of that named process drops below X I want to get
a notification. Is this possible or is there some way that I can force
that situation to CREATE a HARD state change? I always see it in the
logs as a SOFT change and of course, no notification. 

	 

	Any advice very much welcome.
