Nagios Reboot Notification

[Andrew Davis]

Same here... we have a few machines that can reboot in less than 2 
minutes and with Nagios only checking them every 5 minutes or so, some 
reboots can slip through the cracks. We have an "uptime" test that is 
critical at less than 30 minutes and warn at less than 60 seconds, plus 
resolution notifications enabled. So if a machine panic reboots and 
Nagios misses it, withing 5 minutes the uptime test will show uptime of 
less than 30 minutes and send an alert.
