Re: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey
sounds like you've seen this before? I did as you advised. stop restart. I don't know what other processes to look for besides the one below. There weren't any running. isk-nagios:/usr/local/nagios/etc # ps -ef | grep nagios nagios 25494 1 0 14:48 ?00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg root 25501 25032 0 14:50 pts/000:00:00 grep nagios -Original Message- From: Santhosh Kumar A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wed 3/7/2007 6:43 AM To: Ezra Radoff; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ezra Radoff Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 1:28 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey hello.

Re: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey
OK. It's definatly none of those. take a look.
define service{
use local-service
hostgroup_name cisco_routers
service_description Cisco_load
check_command
check_snmp_load_cisco!cisco!90,80,60!100,100,100
}
##
define service{
namelocal-service ; The name of
this service template
use generic-service ; Inherit
default values from the generic-service definition
check_period24x7; The service
can be checked at any time of the day
max_check_attempts 4 ; Re-check the
service up to 4 times in order to determine its final (hard) state
normal_check_interval 5 ; Check the
service every 5 minutes under normal conditions
retry_check_interval1 ; Re-check the
service every minute until a hard state can be determined
contact_groups admins ; Notifications
get sent out to everyone in the 'admins' group
notification_optionsw,u,c,r ; Send
notifications about warning, unknown, critical, and recovery events
notification_interval 60 ; Re-notify
about service problems every hour
notification_period 24x7; Notifications
can be sent out at any time
register0 ; DONT REGISTER
THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
##
Whether a critical alert gets generated or not can depend on the
notification_options in the service definition, the host definition
and/or the contact definition.
Whether notifications are generated at all can depend on
notification_enabled in the host or service definition, on the
timeperiod in the contact definition, globally in the nagios
configuration and it can be dynamically enabled/disabled for hosts,
services and for nagios as a whole.
My guess is that it might be something quite simple in the
notification_options somewhere. See
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/notifications.html
Another option worth trying is check_for_orphaned_services in your
main nagios.cfg file. See:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/configmain.html#check_for_orphaned_services
Cheers,
Jim

Re: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey
No, but I'm thinking now that it's always sending warnings and never sending criticals. It's not flapping. We had a server down for hours. It wasn't sending the warnings because it only does it after four. I think that part has been consistant. In the service def it looks like all four states are configured for sending alerts. I don't get it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Jim Avery Sent: Wed 3/7/2007 2:48 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey On 07/03/07, Ezra Radoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hello.

It's not because the hosts or services are flapping is it? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
