Hi Nagios Peoples Just to set the scene, for all of these steps I'm on the Core Config Manager. We have hosts, that are in host groups. If I am on the "Host Group Management" page and add a host under the "Manage Hosts" button, I can then see all hosts, that are in that Host Grou...

Also for some reason; upon the verification of config files its giving the warning message to all servers with the below : Warning: Duplicate definition found for service 'Uptime' on host 'ato-elvprocess3.<OUR DOMAIN>' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/services/atp-elvprocess3.<OUR DOMAIN>.cfg', s...

WillemDH is correct. Open the "/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache" file in a text editor, find the "Uptime" service, and see what is the contact group that is used. Add the "dummy" contactgroup to the service, open the "/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache", ...

Please note that host contacts and contact groups are only inherited by a service when that service has no contacts or contactgroups defined. See http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=21750&hilit=+host+service+contact for more information or like Andy Brist said: Contacts on ...

OK, let's step back and clarify something. You have the service defined as: define service { host_name atp-elvprocess3.<our domain> service_description uptime use Check_Host_Uptime_Linux check_command check_snmp_uptime_linux!!!!!!!! max_check_attempts 1 check_interval 1 retry_interval 1 check_perio...

Thanks for your reply, As you can see in my previous posts, the service notification contact is defined as contactname not the contact group. So how is it sending to the group? that's my question. I know the host notification is going to the group but for this particular service I've modified the co...

What is the Nagios XI version, that you are currently using? We've fixed a couple of bugs, related to "Configure->Re-configure->Notifications" in 2.8+. We are currently using the latest available version: Latest Available Version: 2012R2.9 Installed Version: 2012R2.9 I mean its still send...

Ok, I've configured the reboot notification using system uptime service. I've created a new user for this notification that receives only critical alerts i.e. we will be receiving only one alert while the server reboots. Or when the server uptime is less than 1 minutes then it says system rebooted. ...

I'm using the monitoring wizard for adding new hosts for SNMP monitoring. while running the wizard in the step 4 it gives the option for selecting the time period and the minimum time i can select is a minute. Could you please let me know how do I minimize the time to seconds( as you mentioned like ...

To be honest, I'm not looking for any special scripting or any advanced configuration all I want is receive notification while the host reboots/goes down. For example. While the server goes down:: ***** Nagios XI Alert ***** Nagios has detected a problem with this host. Notification Type: PROBLEM Ho...
