Re: [Nagios-users] Notification question
Steven Battaille wrote: I’m having a question about the notifications that are being sent by nagios. I found out that if you put the notification interval at 0 you only get a mail when the service goes into the type you defined. I’ll explain my question with an example. We monitor the disk space of several servers. The threshold for the warning and critical are set to 90 and 95. As soon as the service goes into warning because the threshold is at 90% we get an email with a warning status (so far so good) If the threshold increases to 91% we don’t get an email anymore because the state doesn’t change. (it’s still warning). We now want Nagios to send an email that as soon as the threshold value has changed we get an email. (from 90 to 91) We don’t want to get an email as long as the threshold stays at 90%(we already got this by mail) Does somebody knows a solution for this? You'll probably want to *not* set your notification interval to zero, and come up with a custom notification command to do what you want (i.e., check if that value has changed, and don't send anything if it hasn't). Naguios generally doesn't care about plugin output; it just looks at the result code. No result code change means, as far as Nagios is concerned, nothing has changed. One warning's no different from any other as far as the notification logic goes. -- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net 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

It does not know or care that it changed from 90 to 91 so it can't do anything with it. This speaks to the core of how nagios sees the world. education When nagios runs a plugin to check something, it will receive up to 3 things back from the plugin - - a numeric exit code that corresponds to the current state (OK, WARNING, CRITICAL, UNKNOWN) - some text comprised of human readable output[|optional performance data] Nagios only really cares about the state, everything else is just fluff. State changes are the only things that trigger notifications*, unless you have 'is_volatile' set. If the plugin returns WARNING for 90 and WARNING for 91, nagios only sees WARNING for both so the state hasn't changed and a new notification isn't necessary. If you set is_volatile, nagios will send a notification every time the state is not OK (90, 91, 90, 90, 90 would all generate notifications.) The part that you're interested in doing something with is in the human readable output. Nagios does nothing with this. It can be any text in any format, depending on what the plugin thinks is useful to you and what you've asked it to check. Since there's no possible way to know and parse an effectively infinite variety of plugin output content and format, nagios does none of it. It just makes it available in the GUI and as a macro for you to do whatever you want to with it on your own. Typically it's just sent to the notification command for inclusion in the notification. /education That being said, what you could do is to add some logic to your notification command for this case. Your notification command can be any script at all. The default is just a simple mail command but it could be something very complex. If you write your own, it would need to do things like keep track of the prior state and only send a notification of your criteria were met. -- Marc *outside of re-notifications due to notification_interval or escalations... -- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net 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
Re: [Nagios-users] Notification Question
yeah, just set your normal_check_interval to 6 (minutes if you don't change the interval_length), and max_check_attempts to 10, then, after 60 minutes you would be notified. Or the oposite, maybe setting the check interval to 10 and the number of checks to notify to 6. That way you'll always know that in the last 6 (or 10) checks in the last 60 minutes, you had a threshold verification alert, but notifications are only sent after reaching the max_check_attempts.

Out of the box, no I don't think there is a way you can do that.

Re: [Nagios-users] Notification Question
I know I know...RTFM right? ;) From the escalations entry at the bottom (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/escalations.html): One last note about notification intervals deals with intervals of 0. An interval of 0 means that Nagios should only sent a notification out for the first valid notification during that escalation definition. All subsequent notifications for the hostgroup or service will be suppressed. Seems to work fine now...I'll report back if it's not functioning as needed. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sapon, Dimitry Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2007 9:37 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Notification Question Hi, I have a criteria that only the first two non-OK Hard State notifications need to be sent out (at whatever the specified interval is). Afterwards, it's enough that it just keeps logging it with Nagios. I thought I could get this done via escalations whereby I set the first escalation to sent an email on warning and all further escalations to send out on OK status. I realized that when you specify states in escalations, the escalations only trigger when the host/service hits that state, otherwise, the default profile values get used. Is there any way I can fulfill this criteria? Maybe there's a way to disable notifications in the regular service definitions but allow them to be sent out on the first two escalations?

Subject: [Nagios-users] notification question...
HI all,
I have a very strange problem. I just upgrade to NAGIOS 2.6 from a
version 1. (Don't ask please).
On my previous production server, I had the host-notify-by-email command
define as:
define command{
namehost-notify-by-email
command_namehost-notify-by-email
command_line$USER1$/notify-email.pl --HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME$
--HOSTALIAS=$HOSTALIAS$ --HOSTADDRESS=$HOSTADDRESS$
--LASTSTATECHANGE=$LASTSTATECHANGE$ --TIMET=$TIMET$
--HOSTSTATE=$HOSTSTATE$ --OUTPUT=$OUTPUT$ --DATETIME=$DATETIME$
--NOTIFICATIONTYPE=$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ | /bin/mail -s 'Host $HOSTSTATE$
alert for $HOSTALIAS$! ($HOSTNAME$)' $CONTACTEMAIL$
}
The same as the new production version, however when I get an alert I am
not getting the same information on the email.
The $OUTPUT$ and the $DATETIME$ is not being sent on the email.
It works fine on the previous version.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
