I'm sorry, but I got a hard time to pardon such rude answers. > It seems there is little point in sending a status change if you declare a > maintenance window. Then it is obviously a planned action and there is no > need to send out any alert. There's a big point in sending RECOVERY even in scheduled downtimes. I already mentioned it, but I don't mind explaining it again to you. If a service failed before a downtime, it needs to send out recovery notifications even when in downtime. Take my example: service goes critical, every admin gets notified, host goes into downtime, host reboots, service goes ok after reboot, no notifications get sent because the host is still in downtime. Every admin that is currently offsite can't know about the reboot (cause it happened in downtime and noone noticed despite the one who rebooted) and will never get notified about the recovery. That poses a big problem for bigger companies who have numerous admins getting notifications from nagios. If such a case occurs I usually get a call from my CTO why problem XY wasn't fixed yet and I have to tell him: I fixed it with a reboot, but nagios didn't send out the recovery because of the downtime. It wastes time and ressources. Time and ressources mean money. Wasted money is bad. sincerely Sascha -- Sascha Runschke Netzwerk Administration IT-Services ABIT AG Robert-Bosch-Str. 1 40668 Meerbusch Tel.:+49 (0) 2150.9153.226 Mobil:+49 (0) 173.5419665 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.abit.net http://www.abit-epos.net --------------------------------- Sicherheitshinweis zur E-Mail Kommunikation / Security note regarding email communication: http://www.abit.net/sicherheitshinweis.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
