This is good.
What I don't get, is any e-mail notification when a server status
goes from up to down and stays that way. Additionally, when the
status state
changes, I no longer get the NRPE driven critical alert e-mails,
even though those serviuce checks all go to critical eventually.
Something about the
'down' state is preventing a server down e-mail, or I don't have it
configured correctly AND is also preventing other service checks
that go critical
after server down is hit from sending e-mail.
So.... the question is what am I missing?
Well, Server Down implies (by default, I think) that all services on
the server are down, so Nagios suspends service checks for that
server until the server is back up.
Why you don't get mail that the Server is down...that sounds like an
escalation configuration issue.
