Looks like I may have misstated my problem, apparently I was simply not receiving the HOST UP email thanks to my fat fingers mucking up the hosts.cfg
What is happening is that I am seeing a DOWN notification every minute, this is why I thought I was getting the wrong alert. I've got a v2.7 box up and running quite nicely and I've compared the configs and do not see any differences. Obviously I am missing something here, any suggestions why DOWN notifications are being sent every minute? Host config looks like: define host{ name host check_period 24x7 checks_enabled 1 check_interval 3 retry_interval 1 max_check_attempts 3 check_command check-host-alive process_perf_data 0 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 notifications_enabled 1 notification_period 24x7 notification_interval 120 notification_options d,r contact_groups email register 0 } On May 20, 2007, at 5:45 PM, Wil Schultz wrote: > I've just installed 3.0a4 and am testing the alerting. > > I plonk a host, and I get the HOST DOWN email correctly, but when I > bring the host back up instead of getting the HOST UP email, I get > another HOST DOWN email. > > Anyone else seeing this?
