Nagios Support Forum

Hello all,

We are considering Nagios xi for our new monitoring system. We all ready saw that nagios has a nice set of configs, and plugins.
Now there is a question that i couldn't find out in the demo, or i count'd find a clear answer on the forum nor from Google.

Is nagios able to check custom processes that are running on a host ( *nix ) ?

Example, we have lots of custom scripts running on our servers, and some of them may not go down, else it would get ugly. Lets say the name is "script1_check_bla.sh"
that one needs to be running all the time. Is nagion able to check if that script is still running or not ?
And in what interval is nagios able to check it ?

I know Zabbix is able to do this with an interval of a few seconds

I hope i places my question in the right place.

Thanks in advance,

Siebjee

Certainly. For instance, consider the following plugins:
http://nagiosplugins.org/man/check_procs
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... sh/details
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... ep/details

The interval for any check is configurable, although by default checks normally are not run more often than once per minute.
