Same result in different cfg file

Nagios Nagios Configuration support
1

Hi

I’ve installed and configured nagios in centos5.5
i can able to log in web

I have 5 linux Server running and UP
I want to monitor this 5 linux server i installed in 1 linux server so 4 linux are not yet monitored
what i did in nagios.cfg is to add new line

Definitions for monitoring the local (Linux) host

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/localhost.cfg <----- 1 linux server
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/server2.cfg

then

on the objects path i copied the localhost.cfg in server1.cfg
i modified the hostname and group_host

#####host#####
define host{
use linux-server ; Name of host template$
; This host definition $
; in (or inherited by) $
host_name 192.168.50.224
alias Server2
address 192.168.50.224
}

######host_group#####

define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name linux-servers2 ; The name of the hostgroup
alias Server2 ; Long name of the group
members 192.168.50.224 ; Comma separated list of hosts that$
}

when i run the command to confirm theres no error

now what ive noticed is that
the result from localhost.cfg is the same in server2.cfg which i modified some codes

such as:
current load
Current users
partitions
swap

please anyhelp is highly appreciated.

thanks

partition space, load and users at least are LOCAL CHECKS. so they will always return the result from the local system.

one is the localhost others is different machine name which i used first the IP address.

the on/off part is my signature… you shouldn’t take that too literally :stuck_out_tongue:
anyway as the checks are executed locally it will not help much to restart the system.

you need to run those checks on the remote hosts, for disk space and server load you can use snmp checks, try searching the forums, i’m quite sure this has already been discussed.
