[Nagios-users] re-execute an event handler just in case the service stays DOWN
Hi, I would like one event handler to be re-executed just in case it failed for the first time. The docs (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/eventhandlers.html) say "you don't want that", but I am fairly confident that I want it in this case. I have a nagios host in a unattended site which generally gets its internet access from the site network. In case of a site network failure, the host needs to dial in to the Internet via modem to be reachable for debugging purposes. The nagios installation monitors a host on the Internet and has an event handler connected with this host which will initiate the dial-up when the "Internet host" goes into a HARD DOWN state. I would like this event handler to be re-executed in case the dial-up connection doesn't come up or goes down _before_ nagios has detected that the "Internet host" is UP again. Is there any way to accomplish this or am I better of with a cronjob which will initiate the dial-up from outside nagios? Any hints will be appreciated., Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.

Hi Ludse, this issue was completely lost in space, sorry about that.

When I define a service to that host which has the is_volatile option set, the service event handler is never called since the service is not checked again once the host is in DOWN state.

Maybe the "is_volatile" option is something for you (see: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/volatileservices.html) Met vriendelijke groet/with kind regards, Ludse Verhoeven AIX System Engineer T: +31 10 400 2440 F: +31 10 400 2891 E: ludse.verhoe...@vopak.com Vopak Information Services B.V.

That would prevent me from actually notifying. At least if one does not want to be notified once a minute ;) Greetings Marc -- - Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
