[Nagios-users] Advice on setting up escalations
Because people say that I go about things in a too complicated way, rather than just posting what I want to do I'd like to try posting my goal :D. The goal is this: - "Account managers" get alerts of only their clients (which consist of certain hosts and all of their services) during work hours - "On-call technicians" get alerts of only clients after hours. - "Escalation team" gets alerts of all clients 24x7 but only if the alert isn't responded to after 1 alert. - "Nagios admin" gets alerted on all alerts I have nagios functioning now with a 24x7 notification schedule just notifying a group of people, but my company wanted to switch it up. Some direction on the best way of doing this would be very appreciated. Thanks. -- Mike A.

[Nagios-users] Is there a way to have Nagios generate a non-critical event for "Return code of 126 is out of bounds"
When file permissions are wrong or other issues occur, nagios may be prevented from executing a test but it generates a CRITICAL service alert. In this case I do not want to notify the application owner but instead the nagios owner and I don't want it to be CRITICAL because it doesn't indicate a service outage. Is there a way configure how this is handled?

Re: [Nagios-users] timeperiod not behaving as expected
Carl
You have the right idea but wrong setup .
What you want to do it check : credit_card_hours .
and notification changed to : credit_card_hours , that means it will
only alert you in the hours that it is not " administratively down".
so have these directives changed :
notification_period credit_card_hours
check_periodcredit_card_hours
that should solve your alerts issue.

[Nagios-users] timeperiod not behaving as expected
So I took over someone's nagios setup - it works fine except it checks
that a box is up 24x7 but the box has a cronjob that does 0600 ifup,
2000 ifdown; so I get a wad of email every night telling me the box
is down, and then the resolved when it comes back up. So I tried to
fix it, and now I get more email.
Here is a diff of what I changed, my credit_card_hours, and the part
of server.cfg that I think is relevant.
