Remote Execution Service Dependencies on Same Host's Remote Execution Method

[SCHAER Frederic]

Hi,

 

In my service dependency config file, I have this kind of thing :

 

define servicedependency{

                hostgroup_name                  *,!NON_NRPE_NODES

                service_description             nrpe daemon

                dependent_service_description   var partition
freespace,tmp partition freespace,root free space,quattor daemons,home
partition freespace,firewall

                execution_failure_criteria      u,w,c

                notification_failure_criteria   u,w,c,p

                }

 

The hostgroup NON_NRPE_NODES is excluded for the dependencies, because
it's not managed the same way as other nodes.

You could probably generate a group called "NRPE NODES" or something
like this, and instead of using * like me, define this service
dependency on this hostgroup only.

 

I'm using Nagios 3.0b7 at the moment, I don't know which version you're
using nor if this was available in Nagios 2.10 though...

Hope this helps ?

 

Regards

Host's Remote Execution Method

 

Hi,

 

   When there is a problem on a host, and you have lots of services 

being check through a remote execution method like Nrpe, what do you do 

if Nrpe breaks or times out or something? You get flooded with alerts 

for all your systems. So, the solution to this is to create service 

dependencies that point back to one Nrpe service on the same machine, 

right? This way you only get 1 alert per machine instead of 10 alerts 

per machine...

 

Now the trick is, how do you go about creating a rack of service 

dependencies for all the remotely checked services via Nrpe for every 

host to depend on 1 Nrpe check on the same host?

Bearing in mind that you don't want to be a mindless drone and create 

this by hand, and you certainly don't want to maintain this by hand for 

every host and all of their services...

 

What do/would you do?

 

-h
