Here is one that *did* work: Another possibility is host checks. What is the state of the host when you *do not* receive a notification? You're rebooting it so it's going to be seen as non-OK, depending on the timing of this last passive check. Notifications for services on non-OK hosts are automatically suppressed. > This is the first time I've done anything with passive service > checks; am I just not understanding something silly? Or .. ? They're really not treated much differently than active checks; especially in this regard. A non-OK service check results in a check of the host to make sure it's still up (depending on caching options you have set). If the host is down, notifications for services are suppressed. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
