The correct syntax is: retry_check_interval To get a sense of what is different and new in Nagios 3.x and the process of upgrading from 2.x, I would read the following official documentation:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/whatsnew.html http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/upgrading.html#nagios2x That's more than enough to get you started. As for notifications, yes, notifications are not sent on SOFT alerts. James Moseley Sowmya Dass <[email protected]> wrote: Hello All, I already have a setup Nagios 2.0b3 on another server. I have newly setup Nagios 3.2.0 on RHEL 4. In the process, I have tried re-using the configuration file. Currently, I have all my hosts,contacts and service details mentioned in the same configuration file called minimal.cfg. And I do have a nagios.cfg configuration file, that refers to this as : cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/minimal.cfg Will all the directives as valid in Nagios 2.0b3 hold valid even in Nagios 3.2.0 ? I am bothered about the directive names and the deprecated directives. Also, In the official 3.x document, on page 226, I see that there is a mention of a directive called retry_check_interval. http://support.nagios.com/knowledgebase/officialdocs But contradicting to this, I see at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service which mentions the directive as retry_interval. I just happened to figure out this difference just now. I am really not sure which one to use and get it working. I had another issue with notifications as mentioned below : One of the host at my end just went down and did not respond to ping and http. I saw that this was reported as below in the nagios.log at /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log [1252662489] HOST ALERT: lon4;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds [1252662569] HOST ALERT: lon4;DOWN;SOFT;2;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100% [1252662639] HOST ALERT: lon4;DOWN;SOFT;3;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100% [1252662709] HOST ALERT: lon4;UP;SOFT;4;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.22 ms But notifications were not sent out for either of these. Did this happen as these were in soft state ? My notifications have been enabled for both the services ping and http but not for the host. Does the host also have a notification enabled directive ?
