Make sure you back up your config files. My experience was that when upgrading the RPMs on Fedora, the config files would all be moved to .rpmsave files and then nagios would no longer work properly. Renaming the .rpmsave files back to the regular .cfg files still created problems because there were new config file names and dependancies that were required.<BR/><BR/><BR/>This has happened twice to me since I've been using nagios (about 8 months). I finally got tired of adapting my config files to work with the latest version, so I just uninstalled nagios. My network is small enough such that if something goes down, I'll know about it fairly quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-1150737468914892192006-06-19T13:17:00.000-04:002006-06-19T13:17:00.000-04:00RYN: Did send out a message as requested, but no r...RYN: Did send out a message as requested, but no response yet.

Although the configuration sytax seemed a little overkill (think: harder than sendmail), the application monitoring is awesome. I had better results with Nagios than most shops have with Openview. Because the application checks use perl scripts, you can write anything, including security and log monitoring.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
