[Nagios-users] E-mailing separate group for subset of hosts(and their services)

Hi, I've had a smallish deployment of Nagios for a while now, but now I need to add some more functionality to it. I need to have Nagios notify certain people when there is an issue with a host or any service on it. I see that adding their contactgroup to the host definition only notifies them

[Nagios-users] Delayed Notification for Primary & Secondary Nagios Servers

We have 2 Nagios servers, with the same /usr/local/nagios/etc (kept current with rsync). I'd like to have the second server skip the initial notifications, since under normal circumstances we'll receive the primary server's notification email and react to that. Does Nagios provi

Well I tried writing a wrapper script to see what check_http was actually receiving. The answer would appear to be absolutely nothing, in fact check_http is never even getting called. Something in the parameters would appear to be causing nagios to throw an exception when trying to make the call

Thanks for your answer, In fact it is normal behavior to me also. Thing that is not "normal behavior" to me is that between two checks, Nagios jumps from "SOFT 1" to "HARD 1" without doing the steps "SOFT 1" > "SOFT 2" > "SOFT 3" and finally "HARD 4". Regards, Samuel Bancal 2010/2/17 Morris, Pat
