[Nagios-users] Macros in notes?

2010-11-16 Thread Mark A. Lappin
What I would like to do, for my network printers, switches, routers, and some other devices, is add more information to the extended info page. I have been playing around with notes and to get decently readable output, I end up with a bunch of ugly looking HTML which I have been duplicating

[Nagios-users] Next possible notification time bug

2010-11-16 Thread Chung, Jeff
Hi, Here is the problem I'm trying to solve. We have services that have a set maintenance window, for example every Tuesday from 13:30 to 14:00. So to stop Nagios from sending notifications during this maintenance window I have created a time period that excludes tuesday

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

[Nagios-users] Nagios Core 3.2.3 host check retry interval

2010-11-16 Thread Chris Beattie
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

toner part number etc; routers nearest service center, circuit identifier, etc. Works great, hard to maintain. Agreed. IMHO information like that shouldn't be kept in the Nagios config. A trick we've used a few times is to have a wiki installed, then have notes_url be

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

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

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 my
