Re: [Nagios-users] notifications for a passive Nagios check
I've found the "fault". It was the max_check_attempts, which I should
have set to unity!

Subject: [Nagios-users] notifications for a passive Nagios check
I have a Nagios passive check which doesn't send out any alerts when
it's in a critical status:
define service{
name hpcsg-service
register 0
max_check_attempts3
normal_check_interval 30
retry_check_interval 1
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled1
check_period 24x7
check_freshness 0
obsess_over_service 0
notification_interval 0
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
notifications_enabled 1
contact_groupshpcsg
}
define service{
use hpcsg-service
name r89-service
register 0
contact_groupsr89
check_freshness 0
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled1
notifications_enabled 1
}
define service{
use r89-service
host_name r89-trap.esc.rl.ac.uk
service_description hpd-crac-07
check_command none
}
define command{
command_namenone
command_line/bin/true
}
The GCI shows that the hpd-crac-07 check has notifications enabled, but
when I "view notifications for this service", it hasn't sent any. We
have similar checks in place that do send notifications, but the key
difference here is that the above check is a purely passive one, i.e. it
only receives check results.
Thanks in advance.

Is the service still in a soft state? Notifications are only usually
sent when the service goes in to a hard state. If the passive check
is only sent once to indicate a critital or warning state, I believe
you will need to set max_check_attempts to 1.
To make sure your templates are being applied correctly, take a look
at what does the service definition looks like in your objects.cache
file.
