Hi And welcome to the wonderful world of Nagios. I think what you want are "event_handlers" (have a look in the Nagios Doc's <a href="http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html">http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html</a> ) Ritchie <div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 12:44 PM, Leonardo Carneiro <<a href="mailto:lscarneiro@veltrac.com.br">lscarneiro@veltrac.com.br</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> hello everyone. Started to play with Nagios a few days ago and i'm very excited with it. I have a very small setup (2 linux server being monitored via npre by a third linux server) and i'd wrote some bash scripts to monitor some of the services that we run on those services (proprietary services, non-standard ones like ssh, apache and that stuff). I know Nagios can send sms, email and other things to warn administrators about problems, but can Nagios take any action to fix the problem, like restart the service if reach critical state, or restart the service if the service stays critical for more than 5 minutes? If yes, can someone just point me to the direction i should go? :) Tks in advance, and sorry about my poor english.
