Create services dynamically for a specific host

[Anand, Sakshi]

Thanks so much Ashish for your reply.

I am trying to monitor state of all my containers with different names.

So, I need to display names of all the 150 containers on the page which I dont think will look good.

I am planning to dynamically create the configuration file and restart nagios.

I will share the code once I have it developed. I think it will help others too.

Thanks & Regards,
Sakshi Anand

I have gone through this article. Not of much help to me :(

Is it somehow possible that nagios fetches service name from passive check sent to it and display it as it is to nagios home page?

Perhaps you can try naming the service something like "Enterprise service".  Send all the passive checks to this service and prefix a label to the message and send out the alerts immediately, e.g.

CPU CRITICAL - 100% utilised
MEM WARNING - 95% utilised
JBOSS WARNING - something strange in logs
ORACLE CRITICAL - RAC service XXXX down
crond CRITICAL - 0 processes running

If you are using e-mails for notifications then probably you might want to change the format and focus more on the message, not service name.
