Marc, Thanks for the "is_volatile" tip.
As for the NSCA, I found further information: Feb 15 08:01:26 cmi-console nagios: Warning: OCSP command '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result PHM.2950.110.5 'check_ping' 'OK' 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 6.81 ms' ''' for service 'check_ping' on host 'PHM.2950.110.5' timed out after 5 seconds Feb 15 08:10:09 cmi-console nagios: Warning: OCSP command '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result 2950-135 'check_ping' 'OK' 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 3.43 ms' ''' for service 'check_ping' on host '2950-135' timed out after 5 seconds Feb 15 08:12:36 cmi-console nagios: Warning: OCSP command '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/submit_check_result 2950-34 'check_ping' 'OK' 'PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 1.50 ms' ''' for service 'check_ping' on host '2950-34' timed out after 5 seconds This has the appearance that send_nsca is getting timed out. I don't see the connection ending up on the remote side. I wonder if this some type of weird NAT issue going on between the two firewalls. Although, I do see other NSCA traffic working just fine from the same server. Thanks!

They should only be used for services that automatically reset themselves to an OK state after being checked and you wish to be notified _every_ time they're checked and not OK. This would account for your multiple notifications. http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/volatileservices.html Volatile services differ from "normal" services in three important ways. Each time they are checked when they are in a hard non-OK state, and the check returns a non-OK state (i.e. no state change has occurred)... * the non-OK service state is logged * contacts are notified about the problem (if that's what should be done) * the event handler for the service is run (if one has been defined) These events normally only occur for services when they are in a non-OK state and a hard state change has just occurred. In other words, they only happen the first time that a service goes into a non-OK state. If future checks of the service result in the same non-OK state, no hard state change occurs and none of the events mentioned take place again. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
