Hi List, I'm having two problems with Nagios 3.0. The first is with first_notification_delay. Here's my host definition:
define host { active_checks_enabled 1 check_command check_host_alive check_freshness 0 check_period 24x7 contact_groups trouble_queue_24x7 event_handler_enabled 0 first_notification_delay 8 flap_detection_enabled 0 host_name foo hostgroups freebsd_servers, unix_servers max_check_attempts 3 notification_interval 8 notification_options d,r notification_period 24x7 notifications_enabled 1 parents foo-router passive_checks_enabled 0 process_perf_data 0 register 0 retain_nonstatus_information 0 retain_status_information 1 } Here is the log: [1207252682] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100% [1207252752] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100% [1207252822] HOST ALERT: foo;DOWN;HARD;3;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100% [1207252852] HOST NOTIFICATION: trouble_queue_24x7;foo;DOWN;host_notify_by_email;CRITICAL - foo: rta nan, lost 100% If it decides that foo is down at 14:00:22, why does the notification go out 30 seconds later? Am I misunderstanding something really basic about first_notification_delay? My second problem is with host escalations. If I define my host escalation with a contact group: define hostescalation { contact_groups on_call_pager escalation_options d,r escalation_period weekdays_7am_to_6pm first_notification 2 hostgroup_name unix_servers last_notification 0 notification_interval 0 } That works as expected. If I use contacts instead of contact_groups, escalations go to the contact specified /as well as/ the original contact_group for the host. So, using the host definition and host escalation above, if I use contacts, the escalation will go to trouble_queue_24x7 and on_call_pager. If I use contact_groups, the escalation will only go to on_call_pager. Is this expected behavior? I assumed nagios would discard any previously defined contacts and/or contact_groups in favor of what the host escalation specifies.
