Just to wrap up this topic, I finally defeated this problem by changing the output of my ambient temperature monitor to not return the actual temperature in the server room. This made the message static and unchanging and prevented repeated notifications from going out.
I did completely stop and restart Nagios, but only after I made the above change, so I don't know for sure that my change caused the problem to go away, but I strongly suspect so. I didn't have the time to change the notifications script. However, notifications are logged in /var/log/syslog on my system. They always agree with the occurrence of notifications that I received. When I get some time, I'd be happy to try to investigate this problem further, since it's not supposed to happen and my solution removes some functionality that's desirable. If anyone can give me any pointers or documents regarding running Nagios in debug mode, I'll try it and report back my finding. Thanks, again, for all the help and suggestions offered regarding my problem. -Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Ericsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 5:01 PM To: Zembower, Kevin Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] notification_interval seems to be ignored Zembower, Kevin wrote: > 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. > Right, this is fairly weird. Escalations aren't in effect, is_volatile is set to zero. notification_interval is 0 and no other nagios install has this problem. Can you stop Nagios, make really sure it isn't running and start it again? Also verify that absolutely nothing else is sending notifications. You can do that by replacing the notification script with a home- hacked version that logs something somewhere every time it sends a notification and then cross-check that log with your notifications. If it still sends multiple notifications, It'll be quite hard to fix without enabling debugging in nagios, and that's quite tedious :-/ -- 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.
