Hello Nagiosers, I'm new to the list and new to Nagios. If anyone can help me with this, I'll be very grateful.
It seems that whenever a service fails, the host gets checked to see if it's alive (I realize this is normal behavior). But then when Nagios realizes that the host is alive, it generates a "host UP alert" notification as though it has recovered even though I'm pretty sure the host itself never went into a down state. Since I'm still configuring and haven't got all the services working yet, I'm getting a ton of these host UP alerts -- yet I'm getting none of the service critical alerts. I can't figure out what's wrong with my configs. I'm running ver. 2.9 on Fedora. Here's some selections from my configs in case it helps: ###################################################### ###################################################### # Standard Service Template define service{ name standard-service hostgroup_name df-servers normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 max_check_attempts 3 check_period 24x7 contact_groups admins notification_interval 20 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c register 0 } #-----------------------------------------------------------------# define service{ service_description check_http check_command check_http use standard-service } define service{ service_description check_smtp check_command check_smtp use standard-service } # DataFly Contact Group define contactgroup{ contactgroup_name admins alias DataFly Admins members sean } #-----------------------------------------------------------------# # Standard Contact Template define contact{ name standard-contact host_notification_period 24x7 service_notification_period 24x7 host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email service_notification_commands host-notify-by-email register 0 } #-----------------------------------------------------------------# define contact{ contact_name sean alias Sean (email) email [EMAIL PROTECTED] host_notification_options d,u service_notification_options c,w,f use standard-contact } ###################################################### ###################################################### :::: DataFly.Net :::: Complete Web Services http://www.datafly.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
