Monitoring Nagios?

[Tim Pushor]

Hi nagios-users!

I am new to nagios and am starting to set up a configuration that will 
help monitor our infrastructure that we have at a colo. I'm progressing 
slowly, and so far so good - but I'd like to also take this one step 
further and monitor nagios. The colo has a simple HTTP monitor that we 
can use, and I was thinking of crafting a CGI script to check on the 
status of the nagios system and reply with a non-200 code if there is a 
problem.

 - Has anything like this been done
 - If not, whats the best (easiest) way to monitor the nagios process? 
Can nagios be configured to write something to a log file, so we know 
that its still running? (by checking on the modified date on the file)

Thanks!,
Tim
