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<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
