(I posed a couple weeks ago, but only got one response which was different than what I think I want to do.)
I am running Nagios 2.9. I want: if a check_ping fails then I don't want an alert sent to me unless a second test (check_nrpe to a remote system that does the same check_ping) fails. I am reading http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html (I was looking at 3_0 last time.) And I am looking at http://www.linickx.com/blog/archives/271/how-to-monitor-wordpress-with-nagios/ Where is execution_failure_criteria and notification_failure_criteria documented for 2.9? Can someone please provide an example of only sending a problem alert if two different check_commands fail and the second check_command is not done if the first one is OK? This is what I have: define service { use service-template host_name sj2 service_description sj2.router1 check_command check_nrpe!check_router1 } # The "dependent" is the object that needs something. define servicedependency { dependent_host_name sj2 dependent_service_description sj2.router1 host_name sv1 service_description sv1.dummy1 # o = fail on an OK state, the dependent service will not be actively # checked if the master service is in OK execution_failure_criteria o # notification_failure_criteria o } define service { use service-template host_name sv1 service_description sv1.dummy1 check_command check-link } But I am getting two alerts if both don't return OK. I only want one alert. Also I am unsure how to use the execution_failure_criteria and notification_failure_criteria. And I do not want my "sj2.router1" to even be checked if the first "sv1.dummy1" is successful. But if sv1.dummy1 fails, then I want the sj2.router1 check to happen. And if it fails then send my alert. Jeremy C. Reed ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
