Nagios Event Handlers implementation at IIHE
- Usefull link: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html
- Using nagios event handlers with nrpe
An example
- The example described here is to restart the dcap service on maite in case is stops. This is somewhat a complex case since it will trigger the restart of dcap over ssh from a script on egon
- Make sure event handlers are enabled
enable_event_handlers=1
- Add this line in the service config file eg. objects/services.cfg in the check_dccp nagios check
event_handler handler_restartdcap
- And define the event handler command
define command{ command_name handler_restartdcap command_line /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/handler_restartdcap $SERVICESTATE$ $SERVICESTATETYPE$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$' }
- This script on egon will be executed when the check_dccp on m0 goes into critical state
- Remark: the quotes around serviceoutput are there so that the whole output is sent to the script. When they are not there the output is truncated after the first space
