I'm reconfiguring my Nagios box as I move it over to a VM. I want to add DHCP monitoring but I can't quite get my head around it. I have 1 DHCP server (a Server 2003 box). I also have a WDS server - WDS makes this act as a DHCP proxy. What I'm trying to figure out is this.... should I always receive my DHCP offer from the WDS box (as it appears from manually running check_dhcp) or will I sometimes get a lease from the DHCP server? Also, how should I set up the dependencies? It's far too early to be thinking about this stuff!

Spotted this on LinkedIn... I will definitiely have to have a play... Sign In | LinkedIn Basically a way to fix things when Nagios finds a problem! The last line of the blog post sums it up perfectly...

Hi All, I have done a clean vanilla LAMP install (Ubuntu 7.10 Server) and then install Nagios 3.03 with the plugins. Now all is working fine aprt from emails are not getting sent. This is what I have done; Change the email address in contacts.cfg to mine install mailx as per nagios instructions changed email config in commands.cfg to show /usr/bin/mail and not /bin/mail Now when I bring a host down I get no email, I have always used nagios without email notification, more of a visual thing but Iwould like to get this sorted now. Any ideas of what I need to look for??

Hi All, I want to setup a number of printers so that nagios does only 2 things: 1 - Checks the printer is online - Simple ping, I can do this 2 - Only warns when toner is low - Email is good I have the following printers: Brother 6050DN has snmp HP 1020/3500/3700/3900 has snmp Has anyone setup something like this?? Can you provide any pointers??

I Have been using GLPI with fusion inventory for a good few years and it has gone from strength to strength with printer levels and PC monitoring checking software installed and so on and it works really well. Now From the same people I have seen Shinken | The next Industry Standard in IT Monitoring I know some people use NAGIOS but I am wondering if anyone has used this and is so what is it like?? It looks fairly new. I am going to give it a go but would like to hear from people that have use it and maybe compared it to NAGIOS.

Hello everyone, It has been a while since I have posted on here but I could do with some help as I am currently bashing my head against a desk trying to sort this out. I have setup Nagios and RT on a Ubuntu 10.10 server and they are running quite nicely. However, the one (important) component I am missing is email integration so that the applications can send out e-mail alerts. This however, is totally new to me. Annoyingly, our e-mail is currently hosted by RM (Easymail) so I need to set this up to work with either GMail or Easymail as a relayhost. I have followed quite a few examples and tutorials on the web, but I have not managed to get any of them to work. Because I was unsure as to what configuration steps were failing, I have even tried using SSMTP to send a mail but even then I always get the error Cannot open smtp.gmail.com:587 Is this because I am behind the lancsngfl proxy or is the problem totally unrelated? I could do with some help really on this as it would be great to get it working. Thanks in advance, Pete

I've just been re-installing Nagios and wanted some pretty icons so off I went and found NagiosExchange: F*Nagios Icon Pack Check the install.txt file! Apart from being useful and telling you things you want to know, the author has taken great care to entertain the reader
