[Nagios-users] passive checks vs notifications
Hi All! FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE, Nagios Core 3.2.3. There is a problem with notifications. I have a distributed system with 4 nodes and master, with 1000 hosts and 5000 services. In the system are about 40 contacts.For each set or remove an alert for most of them send notification in jabber/mail.When falling off multiple servers or services, the system is behaving strangely.Nagios master does not respond to a request by node information.Until then, until the turn off notifications. Seeking a solution to the problem.Now the situation resolves manual shut-off notices and reread the configuration files. -- EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.

[Nagios-users] R: force event_handler
Thanks. I already set OCHP and OCSP , using same command configured in event_handler, but nothing change. May you tell me how do you use OCHP and OCSP ?

The example I saw was to log into a web server and restart the apache service when the check_web service went critical. I'm using the OHCP command that uses send_nsca for every little thing, regardless of state. That's the nature of the beast. Now, I'm sure you can tailor the command to only send what you want. I might be out in left field though. Hope it helps. Cheers!

You may want to change the value of notification_interval value to 60 if you
would like to receive the notification after each hour.

Have you tried mining the logs?

Re: [Nagios-users] R: force event_handler
Slight problem with my formatting that could lead to confusion. I meant to say for system wide settings put these in nagios.cfg: obsess_over_services=1 obsess_over_hosts=1 I put this in a high level template for hosts and services so it applies to everything: General: ocsp_timeout=10 ochp_timeout=10 ochp_command=host_submit_check_result ocsp_command=service_submit_check_result This you put in your host/service entry or template: ocsp_command=name_of_service_command_here ochp_command=name_of_host_command_here Sorry for any confusion.

[Nagios-users] R: force event_handler : SOLVED
Thank you very much. I made same configuration like yours, but the problem was another. I found it few minutes ago, using only obsessive command, no event_handler. Sometime happen that the macros have syntax that give problems to the host_submit_check_result command. To solve it I put 2 controls inside the script. Many thanks for your time.
