Ämne: Re: [Nagios-users] Number of Notifications!?

Hi!
thanks for a fast answer!
Here are the configfiles i`m using
 
# Plugin commands (service and host check commands)
# Arguments are likely to change between different releases of the
# plugins, so you should use the same config file provided with the
# plugin release rather than the one provided with Nagios.
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg
 
# Misc commands (notification and event handler commands, etc)
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg
 
# You can split other types of object definitions across several
# config files if you wish (as done here), or keep them all in a
# single config file.
 
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/minimal.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/escalations.cfg
 
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/dependencies.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg
#cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg
 
# Extended host/service info definitions are now stored along with
# other object definitions:
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostextinfo.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceextinfo.cfg
 
I will try this now....i`ll let you know if it works:)
 
Thanks
Lelle

go and look in your nagios.cfg file for which config files it's actually using, I don't think most people use minimal, but you won't know until you look there.

then find the service definition and change line

notification_interval           0

to

notification_interval           60

to have it email you once an hour when a service is down (assuming you haven't changed the default interval length in nagios.cfg)


That should sort it

I`w also read the docs on notifications but still ì havent solved it! Can anyone help me please?:)

as someone suggested, investigate flap detection. I haven't looked at this myself since I have always had this working consistently, unless the thing times out or the service is rebooted or something.

you may also want to look at the timeout option that most plugins provide, perhaps it doesn't get a response in the time and this flags critical, which may appear as flapping and may explain why you get emails every few mins instead of once every hour or two...

you could try running the check manually a lot of times and finding if it does occasionally fail for any reason. You can script this in Bash (I love that) or in something else you know, Perl or Python.... save the results to a log file to see what the returns are over time. If you timestamp each log entry then you can compare the emails you're getting against the log to see if the check was succeeding at that point. Or you could try the nagios history first off to compare.

If the service really is flapping then you need to fix that, not nagios.

food for thought.
