For service checks this is pretty straightforward adjusting retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts. You do not want a max_check_attempts set that long for host checks with nagios-2.x or prior. Nagios stops _all_ other processing while hosts are being checked, up to max_check_attempts, so for 15 minutes nagios would do nothing but check that host. Using scheduled downtime is the easiest and preferred way or you could escalations but that gets messier. > 2) as I mentioned, I have made settings to get an alert only once. > But is it possible to get an alert for all machines once in a week too, > say every Monday morning? You'd need to create a custom notification script that contained this logic. Nagios does not have the ability to queue notifications; it'll call the notification script as soon as they're triggered. Your script could take those, store them in a file or database, then send them whenever you chose. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
