[Nagios-users] 'unreachable' question
We're trying to filter out some flaky services giving us too-frequent 'No data was received from host'. Will removing 'u' from notification_options eliminate this, or are they two different things?

It only affects notifications being sent on 'unknown' status. It certainly sounds as though your plugins might want to return just that if they can't get the data though, assuming they're not checking network services, ofcourse. So the answer is actually; Removing 'u' from notification_options of services, or from service_notification_options of contacts, will prevent notifications from being sent on UNKNOWN states.

Nagios can temporarily suppress notifications for a host or service if it changes states too frequently, and automatically re-enable them when the host or service calms down. If you prefer to just use a bigger hammer, you can increase the service's max_check_attempts and hope one comes back OK.
