sqlservers and nagios

[Melanie Pfefer]

Hi

I have a shell script that connects to each SQL server I have.

I want to integrate this is nagios 2.

However, I noticed that nagios relies on HOSTNAME and HOSTADDRESS and HOSTGROUP. While I am more interested in the servername: For example, I could have 2 sql servers hosted on the same machine.

Currently my shell script connects to a SQL server.


Could you please share your thoughts on this? Should I 'fool' nagios and put servernames as hostnames? Or it is not necessary to define the sql servers in nagios?

thank you in advance.
