nagios Monitor

[Ron Wilson]

Yes but that is passive. If you do not get an alert you presume it is
all OK But if the ngaios system was misbehaving for instance or maybe
your sms notification was down you would not know.  What is really
needed is a check independent of ngaios and that can use an alerting
system separate from ngaios. It could check and say regular iintervals
alerting only if it the check fails

What i've done to check if my nagios setup is still working is, i
configured a HTTP check, to check a page somewhere on a server, it's a
simple php page, you can find it on the following url.

 

http://bugoff.be/wp-content/uploads/monitoringcheck.phps

 

then create a cronjob on the server where you put this file to check if
the file is updated.

 

 */5 * * * * cd /var/www/; /usr/bin/php -f monitoringcheck.php cron

I am interested in somehow monitoring my Nagios setup to ensure it is
running and working correctly. At present Nagios monitors and alerts for
problems but if anything happened to Nagios server we would not
necessarily know. I toyed with idea of setting up a dummy check that
alerts at certain time each night but that seems a long winded way to
achieve certainty. Maybe I need a separate application just checking
Nagios server.

Any ideas?
