..in Nagios 2.6-2.9 there's a problem with creating failover configurations (i.e. replication of data to a slave host). When setting up replication via nsca passively to the slave as an OCSP, because each nsca send takes some time the master monitoring process gets slowed too much (if there are lots of services, of course). The problem is in the nature of Nagios OCSP - as it's compulsory - no checks are scheduled before the handler is done. To solve this, I wrote a dumb utility (not really much more dumb than Nagios itself is ;) to read OCSP data from a pipe file, the code of which is here. Can be started from any copy-paste_modify_a_bit init script, or.. something else if you run something else.. anyway, here it is.
ps: it crashes sometimes, dunno why ( I guess, 'cos pthread sucks (or, smart people say, pthread sucks).. or, there's a memory leak/bug somewhere..
Another idiotic programming child is a plugin for Nagios to parse (in bash, with tresholds, these words were in my task) mailstats command output. It consists of the plugin itself, functions lib and a config file(i.e. a matrix of functions to match against). The idea is completely mine, and I'm proud of it :D
More Nagios stuff is coming ;) ..or not.. definitely not.
the other only thing I can say now is: "I'm too emo for my face"
just kiddin'..
By the way, if you wanted to send me some money that would be great.
PS: by the way, the site is UNDER CONSTRUCTION, so if you'd expected to see the juice.org.ua organisation website here - I'm sorry.
