If you don't want it to be concerned about diskspace, don't add the disk checks to the service groups. If NLG isn't looking at service- groups, then perhaps that's what you need to start doing, but only adding the services that *actually* affect services to those groups. Service groups are there for precisely this reason, really. Making users see how various failures in the network affects what *they* use is an immensely powerful feature, but it has to be used properly. -- Andreas Ericsson [email protected] OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
