Re: [Nagios-users] controlling notifications a bit better

[Andrew Laden]

One thing to watch is that HOST alerts will get sent out as soon as the host is detected down. You can play with the retry settings. But you generally need to keep those short, as a host check supercedes all other checks, and nagios will essentially pause until it determines status of the host.   You can also play with escalations to delay checks. Have no notifications initially, and then use an escalation to send the alert later. This takes a little work to get right.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Aaron Segura Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 12:09 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] controlling notifications a bit better Normal check interval: 5 min Retry Check interval  : 5 min Max check attempts :  2   -or-   Normal check interval: 2 min Retry check interval:   1 min Max check attempts:  9   -or-    (This is the one I run on some services) Normal check interval: 5 min Retry check interval  : 1 min Max check attempts: 6     Something along those lines should do it…Yay for math!   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gavin Cato Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 12:47 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] controlling notifications a bit better   Hi,   I want certain hosts/services to only send an email alert if the host/service is down for 10 minutes.   I’ve tried playing with max_check_attempts and the other obvious parameters but I still get email alerts after only 1-2mins.   Can anyone please show me a sample config snippet or how they do it?   Cheers   Gav
