Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications on passive service checks

In my opinion it'useless in this scenario; the official doc says: Volatile services differ from "normal" services in three important ways. */Each time/ they are checked* when they are in a hard non-OK state, and the check returns a non-OK state (i.e. no state change has occurred)... But in m

Just use the built in feature for this: is_volatile. See http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/volatileservices.html Regards, Martin Melin On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 10:41 PM, Alberto Menichetti wrote: > Hi all, > > I noticed the same strange behavior, but I don't think it's the right > behavior.

Escalations can resolve this - if you set an escalation to trigger at notification 1 and set a re-notify interval in the escalation you will be re-notified at the set interval while the service remains in the configured alarm state. - Max On Tue, Nov 16, 2010 at 4:41 PM, Alberto Menichetti wrote

Hi all, I noticed the same strange behavior, but I don't think it's the right behavior. Operating in this way, a linkDown trap will be notified only once (in fact the sender device will generate a single trap in response to state change). Is it possibile to modify this behavior? Hall, JC w

I noticed something curious. It looks like Nagios 3.2.3 is making on-demand host checks faster than the retry_interval should allow. The interval_length is set to 60 and the retry_interval is set to 1. Nagios and the plugins were compiled from source on CentOS 5.5 x64. I'm not sure if this i

After some testing, it looks like it will only re-notify after receiving another passive check result. It won't simply re-notify because it's still in a non-ok state after the notification_interval has expired. So to combat this I just used the check freshness attribute to re-execute my extern
