Description
Process Status
Status of monitoring process (Nagios). Should be OK. If not, use the Restart
the Nagios process command. See "Process Commands box"onpage67.
Process status values are the same as service status values. See "Host and service
status values"onpage29.
Process Commands box
Use the Process Commands box to run commands that perform actions. These actions are g lobal,
affecting all hosts and services. For example, if you d isable notifica tions here, no notifications are
sent for any hosts or services.
Commands with an adjacent X icon (
)orcheck-markicon( ) are toggles. The icon indicates
the new toggle state (after command execution): a check mark means enable or start; an X means
disable or stop.
Click a command link to display the External Command Interface view for the command. See "External
Command Interface" on page 110.
Commands that disable (notifications, status checks, and so on) override commands that enable. For
example, suppose you disable checks for a particular ser vice, such as PING, using the Service Information
view (Disable checks of this service command), but enable checks for all services using the
Nagios Info view (Start executing service checks command). That particular service (PING) is
not checked bec ause disabling overrides enabling.
