NAgios: add/import a list of host to ping, automatically?

  • 772

I am searching for a way to automatically add a few hundreds of hosts to ping in Nagios. I guess there could be procedure or a file to fill with something like an /etc/hosts file to have Nagios to simply ping these hosts. another common service would be to probe for ssh availability.

    use template like this:

    nagios/etc/servers/host1.cfg
nagios/etc/servers/host2.cfg
....
nagios/etc/servers/host300.cfg

    Template:

    define host{
        name                    host-1
        use                     generic-server
        host_name               host-1
        alias                   host-1
                                #change 
        address                 127.0.0.1
 }

    for generate .cfg file for all servers from file,like hosts - you may create shell script.

    And use crontab for run it and reload nagios service.
