The only two definitions that I have for nagiosadmin are these: define contact{ contact_name nagiosadmin ; Short name of user use generic-contact ; Inherit default values from generic-contact template (defined above) alias Nagios Admin ; Full name of user
email gl...@sbcglobal.net } and define contactgroup{ contactgroup_name admins alias Nagios Administrators members nagiosadmin } ----- Original Message ---- From: Seth Simmons <ssimm...@cymfony.com> To: Grant Lowe <gl...@sbcglobal.net>; nagios-user Mailinglist <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 9:07:07 AM Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios Admin pages Does your service/host checks have nagiosadmin either defined as a contact or part of a contact group? -----Original Message----- From: Grant Lowe [mailto:gl...@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 10:24 AM To: Seth Simmons; nagios-user Mailinglist Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Admin pages Hi Seth, I understand it better now. Thanks. But I'm still getting the notifications as nagiosadmin. Any more ideas? grant ----- Original Message ---- From: Seth Simmons <ssimm...@cymfony.com> To: Grant Lowe <gl...@sbcglobal.net>; nagios-user Mailinglist <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 11:01:23 AM Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios Admin pages It's the other way around (assuming I'm understanding the question correctly). If you have a host defined and you tell it to use the generic-host template and define a different parameter for that specific host, that takes precedence. For example, here is your generic-host template and a defined host. define host{ name generic-host notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 failure_prediction_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 notification_period 24x7 register 0 } define host{ name redhatserver use generic-host notifications_enabled 0 } With the above host, it has notifications disabled; if that wasn't defined for that host, it would use the value in the template. Same applies for services. -----Original Message----- From: Grant Lowe [mailto:gl...@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 1:32 PM To: Seth Simmons; nagios-user Mailinglist Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios Admin pages Hi Seth, Thanks for the link. I've looked more closely at the definitions, and it looks like since I have the "generic" service that I'm using that comes stalk with Nagios, that's what I'm using. That's what I'm guessing anyway. This begets a question. If the other service definitions "inherit" from the "generic" definition, it seems that the "generic" service is the one that gets used, and has priority, not the "inherited" one. Is that correct? ----- Original Message ---- From: Seth Simmons <ssimm...@cymfony.com> To: Grant Lowe <gl...@sbcglobal.net>; nagios-user Mailinglist <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 9:08:21 AM Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Nagios Admin pages start here http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html -----Original Message----- From: Grant Lowe [mailto:gl...@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 11:51 AM To: nagios-user Mailinglist Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Admin pages Hi All, How do I get nagiosadmin to stop receiving notifications that the other admins get? For example, the Windows guys get some that I don't need to get.
