Whether a critical alert gets generated or not can depend on the notification_options in the service definition, the host definition and/or the contact definition. Whether notifications are generated at all can depend on notification_enabled in the host or service definition, on the timeperiod in the contact definition, globally in the nagios configuration and it can be dynamically enabled/disabled for hosts, services and for nagios as a whole. My guess is that it might be something quite simple in the notification_options somewhere. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html Another option worth trying is check_for_orphaned_services in your main nagios.cfg file. See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#check_for_orphaned_services Cheers, Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
