Re: [Nagios-users] Escalation issues
Hi, I have also interval_length=60 in nagios.cfg. I don't understand why admins-escal isn't consulted after three consecutive attempts at communicating with the service. What am I doing wrong? This is a silly question, but are there contacts who are members of the admins-escal group? And do they have service_notification_options that overlap the ones defined in your escalation? I haven't tried using templates for escalations yet. Have you tried defining an escalation without using a template? Does the config page for service escalations show anything? The URL would end up being something like: http://your_nagios_host/nagios/cgi-bin/config.cgi?type=serviceescalationsexpand=mailhost Thanks for the info. I've ended up almost completely rebuilding the configuration, trying to understand how it all works and get notifications working, and stop alerting either too late or too many times. I have something that at least works now, but I'm continuing to make changes to improve it.

[Nagios-users] Escalation issues
Hi all,
I have a working nagios system on fc17, but I don't think I have the
escalations configured properly. I have the following service
templates defined:
At what point are the services converted to being escalated services
in my sample below?
define service {
namestandard-service-24x7
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
parallelize_check 1
obsess_over_service 1
check_freshness 0
notifications_enabled 1
event_handler_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 1
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information1
max_check_attempts 5
# number of min between checks
normal_check_interval 4
retry_check_interval1
is_volatile 0
check_period24x7
contact_groups admins
# re-notify every ten minutes
notification_interval 10
notification_period 24x7
notification_optionsw,u,c,r
register0
}
define serviceescalation {
namecritical-services
first_notification 3
last_notification 10
#contact_groups linux-admins,noc-admins,techs-phones
contact_groups admins-escal
notification_interval 10
register0
}
I also have a number of services configured such as this:
define service {
use standard-service-24x7
host_name mailhost
service_description MAILQ-pre
check_command check-host-alive
}
define serviceescalation {
use critical-services
host_name mailhost
service_description MAILQ-pre
}
I have also interval_length=60 in nagios.cfg. I don't understand why
admins-escal isn't consulted after three consecutive attempts at
communicating with the service. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alex
