Hello Marc, thanks for your reply. yes you are wright. My notify-commands are put in as event-handler for all hosts and all services. I will just remove the event_handler line. I also set event_handler_enabled to 0 and all should be fine.
Again, thank you best regards, Markus I put in a host and a service definition, just to be complete: define host { host_name hostname.domain.de alias Serviceportal VIP address x.y.z parents kp-sp-proxy check_command check_http_proxy_ping max_check_attempts 3 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 0 check_period 24x7 obsess_over_host 1 check_freshness 1 event_handler notify-host-by-email event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 failure_prediction_enabled 1 process_perf_data 0 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 contact_groups nagios-admins,ServiceCenter,ziv-admins notification_interval 60 notification_period arbeitszeitrufbereit notification_options d,u,r,f notifications_enabled 1 register 1 } define service { host_name hostname.domain.de service_description Serviceportal Login VIP servicegroups webbased is_volatile 0 check_command check_serviceplattform!serviceplattform_eprtlogin.conf max_check_attempts 3 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 2 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 0 check_period 24x7 parallelize_check 1 obsess_over_service 1 check_freshness 0 event_handler notify-service-by-email event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 failure_prediction_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 contact_groups nagios-admins,ServiceCenter,ziv-admins notification_interval 60 notification_period arbeitszeitrufbereit notification_options w,u,c,r,f notifications_enabled 1 register 1 } -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 07:21:28 -0600 > Von: Marc Powell <m...@ena.com> > An: nagios-users Mailinglist <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> > Betreff: Re: [Nagios-users] Notifications to unknown user for services with > disabled notify > > On Jan 16, 2009, at 3:46 AM, Markus Schreier wrote: > > > Hello all, > > > > i'm new to the list even though i'm not new to nagios.
