Hello@all!!
We are using the nagios eventlog agent in the version 1.8.3 for checking our daily backups. It's works fine!
But we have some troubles with the integrated heartbeat function.
At the nagios website the service has often the status:
EventLog Agent UNKNOWN 09-05-2008 13:09:08 0d 0h 9m 8s 1/1 UNKNOWN: Check agent is running
But sometimes the service says "ok" and I can see, if the monitoring service will be restarted.
I don't know if this is a serious problem, but that doesn't look very nice.
I have to say sorry for my bad english.
Thank you all in advance.
Kind regards
Björn
