[Nagios-users] Send notification if state doesn't change
hi all, I got some passive services checks in nagios. When this services goes into critical state I get a notification. But everytime I need to reset the service to OK by submitting a passive check through the nagios webinterface. Because if I leave it in critical I will not send a other notification if a other critical result occurs, because the service is already in a critical state. Is there something to keep sending notification for a passive check (maybe active check to) even if that service is already in, for example, critical? chiel - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [Nagios-users] Send notification if state doesn't change
From what I understand, the notification_interval option defined in the service definition is what tells Nagios how often to resend the message. Default is 60 hence why you might never have gotten another one. Try lowering that value and that should work.

Re: [Nagios-users] Send notification if state doesn't change
That is not execly what I mean. The notivication_interval will resend a notification after a period of time. I use passive checks, and the only thing that this check will recieve is critical states. So every time I recieve a pasive check I want a notification. - Original Message - From: Sapon, Dimitry To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 3:10 PM Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Send notification if state doesn't change From what I understand, the notification_interval option defined in the service definition is what tells Nagios how often to resend the message.

Re: [Nagios-users] Send notification if state doesn't change
Ok gotcha. How about this alternative (just trying to throw possibilities out there). Are you able to slightly change the output message sent to Nagios through the passive check? Maybe a variable that gets auto incremented to show the message number or something simple like that? If so, you can take advantaged of state stalking: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/stalking.html Hopefully that'll help. :) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of chiel Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2007 9:34 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Send notification if state doesn't change That is not execly what I mean.

Re: [Nagios-users] Send notification if state doesn't change
For notification_interval to work Nagios must receive another passive check or send another active check. Here's an example showing how it works: In this example: - check frequency is 5 minutes - notification interval is 6 minutes On a service failure you would get: 0m Service enters HARD CRITICAL state 0m Nagios sends notification 5m Service still in HARD CRITICAL state 5m Nagios not sending notifications because less than 6 minutes have passed 6m Nothing happens because the next check is scheduled at 10 minutes 10m Service still in HARD CRITICAL state 10m Nagios sends notification For passive checks you should enable freshness checking so that if no checks comes in Nagios will keep things going. If you really want one notification per passive check and/or your passive checks only comes in when there's a problem (ex. SNMP traps) then what you'll want is to set-up a volatile service. With volatile services you can still play with active/passive and freshness settings to change the exact behavior, so I recommend that you experiment yourself until you get the desired results.
