RE: Event handler over a remote machine

What I do with my two event handlers that solve problems is have it run
a script locally to check the parameters that I'm passing from Nagios.

define command{
        command_name    update-asus-ts-portfw
        command_line
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/eventhandlers/update-asus-ts-portfw $HOSTNAME$
$HOSTSTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $HOSTATTEMPT$
        }

Notice the 2,3,4 params.  Those would pass something like [soft,hard]
[ok,down] [1,2,3,4,5,6]

I then have a bash script that looks at the params to see if I need it
to do something.  You wouldn't want it to restart your notes server
every time it runs the script.  It will run the event handler on every
attempt that is a non-ok state.  So the script would look something like
this.  Look at the bottom of the page, there is an example script there.
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/eventhandlers.html  

But it bases has some case statements where it checks if it's in a hard
or soft state.  If it's in a soft state, it could be just a fluke.  So
look at the attempt.

What I have done is on the first attempt where the state is 'hard' I
have it update firewall rules to point my terminal server session to a
different host.  I also have another one that on the first 'hard'
attempt, I have it reboot my firewall just in case my cable modem is
flaking out and I need my firewall to reset it.

Hope this helps....
Andy

Subject: [netsaint] Event handler over a remote machine


Hi !!!

I'm trying to set my first event handler, but i have problem.

I'm checking my Notes on a remote machine with the check_notes command ,
and it's working right

The problem appear when I'm trying to restart the Notes when the result
of
check_notes command is Critical, the command to restart the Notes is
notes_restart.sh

I configure my netsaint machine in this way:

In the hosts.cfg:
command[notes_restart]=$USER1$/check_nrpe!notes_restart.sh $HOSTADDRESS$
-c $ARG1$ $SERVICESTATE$ $STATETYPE$ $SERVICEATTEMPT$

service[dsl101]=NOTES;0;24x7;3;2;1;webpin;120;24x7;1;1;0;notes_restart;c
heck_nrpe!check_notes

But Netsaint is looking for the notes_restart in the local machine and
not
in the remote machine
Error message:
sh: /opt/sfw/lib/netsaint/plugins/check_nrpe!notes_restart.sh: not
founds

Could you send me a example of the best way to configure the remote
execution of a eventhandler?

Thanks
