Hi Patrick,

so what check do I suggest I add in fir the host?

For example my servers cfg uses check-server-alive for the host and check_ping 
for the service.
But the hosts are ok in that scenario as I only want to know when the host is 
up or down, I don't want to know when the service is critical.

But in the disk space scenario I only want to know when the service us critical 
because the disk usage as hit the threshold, I don't need a host up our down 
check notification.

hope this makes sense?

Hi all,

I have just setup Nagios to monitor the diskspace on my servers.

Nagios works fine monitoring and reporting diskspace but I cant get the 
notifications to work properly.

I also ping all my servers and the PING checks I have send me host alerts to 
say UP or DOWN but I have disabled service alerts as I don’t want them for the 
PING check.

So I thought I would so the reverse and setup the disk check commands and 
disable host alerts and just have service alerts for when said server goes over 
the critical disk space limit I have sent.

Problem is no service alerts get sent out no matter how long the host is in 
critical state!

If I enable host and service alerts for the disk check command I get host 
alerts to say that the host is DOWN (which it isn’t its CRITICAL)

My test disk_check config file is located at the below link, thought it be best 
to provide the whole lot rather than snippets.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/895609/disk_space_test.cfg

Can anybody explain why I don’t get any service alerts when the host goes 
CRITICAL and how I can get them please without having host alerts enabled as I 
don’t want them for my disk check commands

Thankyou in advance
