Relationships monitoring in Nagios xi

Post by kalyanpabolu »

Hi Team,

We wanted to monitor relationships or we can say dependencies in Nagios. Here is an example to explain the same.

1. We have ssl certificates for the domains and we need to renew the license. Suppose, if a license gets expired and we miss renewing them, AD (Active directory) and exchange will be down.

So can we monitor this relationship in Nagios?

There can be other relationships like this, we need to link them and get them monitored in Nagios.

Can you please suggest on the same?
Let me know if you need more information on the same.

Sure, Nagios supports this.

What you'd want to use is a service dependency. By using service dependencies, if the master service goes down, you prevent notifications being sent OR prevent checks from being executed. Either option simply pushes the next check or notification to the next interval.

You'd do this thru the Config => Core Config Manager => Service Dependencies.
If you didn't get an 8% raise over the course of the pandemic, you took a pay cut.
