Hi All, It's been a while since I posted anything on this list, since I am awfully busy migrating a very messy config on our Nagios server to a new one. But while doing so I ran into a very strange problem.
Our situation is as follows: Nagios 1.3 running on a SLES9 64-bit server Configuration is in /usr/local/nagios/etc, and in several configdirectories underneath the etc-directory (specified with the cfg_dir directive in nagios.cfg). Here is what I did: I edited a file called services_web.cfg in /usr/local/nagios/etc/tno. This directory is specified with the user_dir directive in nagios.cfg The modification was very simple: I added 'notifications_enabled 0' to the tempate in this file. I then reloaded the nagios config (/etc/init.d/nagios reload) In the GUI this modification is NOT shown; ie there are no 'notifications disabled' symbols next to the service descriptions, and the 'Service State Information' screen still says 'Service Notifications enabled'. But, when I go to 'View Config' - Services, and then lookup this service, it tells me Notifications enabled is Off!!! When I add the 'notifications_enabled 0' directive to a service_description instead of the template, same situation as above occurs. When I modify the service_description of a service in the same file, and reload Nagios, then both the service_description AND the notifications_enabled setting from the template are correctly shown in the GUI. Another workaround I found is this: comment out the respective cfg_dir line in the nagios.cfg. Reload Nagios, refresh the GUI, then uncomment the line again, reload Nagios and refresh the GUI. Then all notifications_disabled symbols are there, and everything is in order... Not sure if this happened to anyone before, but I thought this might be interesting to know. Please advise whether this should be reported as a bug!
