[Nagios-users] Handle unknown host in PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT

[Paul D. <pa...@du...>]

Per an earlier suggestion from the mailing-list (thanks!), I have a
default SNMP trap handler setup to send a PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT
command for the "TRAP" service for the IP of the device that sent the
trap.  In some cases, the "TRAP" service doesn't exist for the host or
the host doesn't exist in my configs yet.  I'd like to know if there is
a way to determine this ahead of time and instead update a
TRAP-FROM-UNKNOWN-HOST or NO-TRAP-SERVICE-FOR-HOST service that I keep
on my Nagios host.  The idea is to kick me, the admin, when I start
getting traps from new devices or those I've not yet fully configured.

Alternatively, is there a way to have Nagios fire off another plugin
when an attempt is made to update an invalid host or service?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

TIA,

pd
