vm-ofbiz false alerts from Nagios

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

We get a *lot* of false alerts for vm-ofbiz from Nagios. Could we not set the check_command from 5|10 to say 10|15? I suggest these
numbers because I think they are more realistic for OFBiz which relies much on caching. This would be true for both instances (trunk
and stable). We could even increase/adjust them later again if needed, but I hope not.

Thanks

Jacques

Hi Hans,

Not at the moment, but yes this sounds like a good idea to me.
As you can see at http://markmail.org/message/ojpjqe3xjvmsk5h6,  we use a Nagios command (at least I suppose it's Nagios):
check_command check_https!5!10 (now 10!15)

Gavin, could we use what Hans is suggesting instead? Because we still get almost the same number of false alerts with the change I
suggested.

Thanks

Jacques

It would be better to add a Nagios plugin to monitor OFBiz status.

Create a new command in nagios:

define command{
   command_name    ofbiz_ping
   command_line    $USER1$/check_http -S -H $HOSTADDRESS$
-u /webtools/control/ping -s PONG
}

(command_line is  a single line)

and use this command to check if the ofbiz is still active like:

   check_command    ofbiz_ping

Hans
