Just a follow-up: Setting 'is_volatile 0' explicitly in the service definition didn't seem to affect this behavior; it still sent me 3 notifications, seemingly when the temperature changed.
Thanks for any additional suggestions and advice. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zembower, Kevin Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 2:11 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval seems to be ignored Andreas, thanks for your response. My notification_interval is set to 0, so theoretically it should send me either no repeated notifications, or a notification every 5 minutes, my normal_check_interval. I triggered an ambient temperature warning and let it run for an hour and 42 minutes. The time between notifications was 10, 26, 5, 12, 5, 5 and 25 minutes. In each case, the temperature had changed from the previous notification. The only definition of is_volatile was in the generic-service_nagios2.cfg files, where it's set to 0. I've now included it explicitly in the service definition for my ambient temperature monitor. I'll let you know if this makes a difference. Thanks, again, for your help. -Kevin iginal Message----- From: Andreas Ericsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 1:02 PM To: Zembower, Kevin Cc: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval seems to be ignored Zembower, Kevin wrote: > Still trying to investigate why the notification_interval seems to be > ignored on my alert based on the ambient temperature in my server room. > It's not, but nagios only attempts to send notifications when it has performed a check, afair. If you set notification_interval to lower than your normal_check_interval, will it then send notifications with intervals matching normal_check_interval? > One thought that I had was that the temperature was changing between > alerts, even though it was still in the critical or warning state.

Only if is_volatile is set for the service. -- Andreas Ericsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
