Get back to this when my understanding of the Command Line is better;)

Fixing your network the lazy way/using nagios to build self healing services

by admin on Apr.07, 2009, under Linux, Windows

Well no matter what you try sometimes things break and inevitably when they do it happens at 3am just as your nodding off. Well in case you were not aware Nagios has a wonderful feature called event handlers.

I have a great network I really do but its got a lot of crappy services on it for example CPanel and IIS servers.

IIS has a great habit of dying and when it does all it requires is a restart to get it going again on the side of this we also happen to use Cygwin SSHd on our Windows servers, so in this article I am going to focus on getting Nagios to restart IIS for us to get it back to normal.

To do this you will obviously need a server running Nagios and one running IIS on Windows with Cygwin SSHd installed.

Go there...
