Nagios is a popular tool for monitoring servers and network infrastructure. By monitoring Nagios itself, you will gain the peace of mind that you'll be notified instantly if your monitoring system goes down or a network partition prevents it from dispatching alerts.
Monitoring Nagios with Cronitor is easy: By creating and invoking a Nagios check_http_url
command, Cronitor will listen for
pings from your Nagios service. If your service does not ping when expected, Cronitor will send you an alert.
Monitoring nagios can be completed in just a few minutes.
Your new monitor is created in a paused state; monitoring will not begin until the first ping is received.
You will need to configure a new Nagios command using the built-in check_http
command:
define command{ command_name check_http_url command_line $USER1$/check_http -I $HOSTADDRESS$ -u $ARG1$ }
check_interval
appropriately.
define service{ host_name cronitor service_description External Nagios Monitoring check_command check_http_url!http://cronitor.link/d3x0c1/run max_check_attempts 3 check_interval 1 retry_interval 1 check_period 24x7 notification_interval 300 notification_period workhours }
