I'll preface this with saying that yes, I understand that this is far
past any expected scope of support for the mailing list; I'm posting it
here in the hopes that someone has dealt with this issue or has done
something similar to this themselves and is able to give some pointers
to where I may have gone wrong.
I'm trying to get increasing interval escalation behavior working under
Opsview 3.9.0. I've edited nagconfgen.pl to append appropriate host and
service escalation objects onto the defined host and service checks;
getting a definition similar to (from hosts.cfg):
# test host definition
define host {
host_name test
alias test
address 10.0.0.10
hostgroups test

As I understand it, this won't cause the notification to trigger every 3
minutes initially, the notifications will simply increment up to the
next time the host check runs that's >3 minutes from each previous
notification, so the incrementation behavior will be somewhat variable
based on the host check and recheck intervals. That's OK with me. The
problem is that the escalations never occur.
As I understand it, the escalations above should each take over from the
default notification interval in the host definition as each
notification number is hit. That's not happening. I've turned on the
notification debug output, and the results I'm seeing for the
appropriate host are:

As you can see, it continues notifying based on the default 3 minute
notification interval, and the host notification escalations never
trigger. I've run a pre-flight-check on the configuration, and the
nagios binary reports no errors. The preflight check also shows that
it's parsing the three host escalations properly, as they show up in the
list of parsed objects.
There's a few caveats to how I'm working, though. As of right now I
haven't replaced the nagconfgen.pl script entirely, I'm simply splicing
in the output I get from a test run of my updated script for the one
test host I'm working with into the default script's configuration and
running /etc/init.d/opsview reload to reload the edited cfg files. I
know for a fact that that does reparse the nagios config, as I've used
that reload to update my logging behavior settings for the nagios binary
and see those changes take effect.
Where should I be looking to debug this? Is there some way to debug the
escalation behavior quicker than setting it up on a downed host and
watching what notifications come out? Thanks in advance!
