Hi Marc,
maybe also some ideas how to use incinga with Informix:
In our Admin Scout we also use Icinga 2 for monitoring.
However, we don't have a separate Icinga script for every case.
We monitor the ping via Icinga and test the connect to the database.
In a third check we retrieve the data from the sysadmin:ph_alert.
We can retrieve the alarms of all pre-installed sensors/tasks and depending on the type in the ph_alert decide whether we generate mails or not. The alarms of the Health Advisor are also available in this way. So it is also much easier to add new evaluations, because you simply create a task in the instance and log it into the ph_alert. An alarm, which should be reported by mail, must be marked Yellow or Red.
Our Icingascript gets the ph_alert and always remembers the last seen id. It checks the INFO/WARNING/ERROR type and the color and
decides if a mail is to be sent.
In a fourth check the runs through the alarm program and the sysalarm program are traced. This is based on a script
in the alarm programs that pushes the pass to the icinga computer via wget. Icinga retrieves the results and generates a mail for important alerts. Each alarm can be switched on or off.
You can find out what our scout checks in the demo at

Subject: Monitoring Scripts for Nagios/Icinga
Hi there,
we´re still using Icinga/Nagios for monitoring, and i´d like to ask if you can share your recommended scripts/checks for Informix 12.10 / 14.10 with us?
If its not allowed here please delete the thread.
