A notification is, well, something notifying the responsible admin. An escalation is, when he/she doesn't react, the mail also goes to fellow admins, or even the management. That would be escalation, I guess. How to test that, well... Set up a service, which doesn't work. Have a notification sent to you. Dont react, by not acknowledging it. After a couple of tries of nagios notifying you, nagios should notify another admin-group if you set things up correctly.

If I get the problem right, you are getting notified, but don't find the notification option. Maybe it takes the standard-admin-mailadress...? I can't help you on this one, I guess. :-/ > > ***** Nagios > ***** > > Notification Type: > PROBLEM > Service: Total > Processes > Host: > localhost > Address: > 127.0.0.1 > State: > CRITICAL > Date/Time: Thu Aug 7 > 16:15:32 IST 2008 > Additional > Info: > CRITICAL - Plugin timed out > after 10 seconds. > > 3)How to limit the > Notification Alerts only to specific Services. Maybe you can have a template for services with notifications, and one without (as below). I think, the notifications_enabled (0/1) directive could do the job. - ---- define service{ name generic-bp-service use generic-service contact_groups admins notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options u,c,r notifications_enabled 1 max_check_attempts 5 check_period 24x7 register 0 } define service{ name generic-bp-detail-service use generic-service contact_groups admins notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options u,c,r notifications_enabled 0 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 5 retry_check_interval 1 check_period 24x7 register 0 } > > > pls reply asap ..... :-( Yeah, easy dude. :-) I hope I could help a little, I am not that much of a nagios-guru myself either. ;-) Greetz, Marcus -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFInDiX+qVaNRZYOakRAt51AJ0doIUZt8GM0g6ZI3fQfdmo0q9/kQCeLvXj Ze8aICNkRgA9/X6oVovtRGg= =13hU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
