Nagios Support Forum

jda What u describe is pretty much what happens once a night. I had already turned off alerts on UNKNOWN but when taking a closer look I noticed that the check_by_ssh service timeouts are actually causing CRITICALS instead of UNKNOWNs Aug 5 06:15:29 prdmgtnag01 nagios: SERVICE ALERT: xxxxxx;du /usr;...

Gurus Recently we are experiencing an issue where when comvault backups kick in around 7 a lot of VMs start timing out and it appears that at some point there are too many timeouts for nagios to handle. This is when it starts killing procs and I get 1000s of these Aug 4 19:56:40 prdmgtnag01 nagios: ...

Great - thanks everyone.

Thx. Perhaps this could be added to the wishlist for future releases ? I'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to add an option that sends RECOVERYs regardless of notification window based on a checkbox.

Gurus Today I noticed that you can get into a weird state when you use a non-24/7 notification schedule. We have 9am-9pm and a service went down around 7pm and came back around 10pm. The CRITICAL was sent out but, of course, the RECOVERY wasn't because it occurred outside of notification hours. I kn...

jda Im not sure I agree.What about the following common problems: 1. Normally all alerts for LOAD go to the SA group but for a subset of systems it needs to go to another contact group as well so I need to overwrite check load. 2. Normally LOAD is 30,20,10 but on a subset of systems it needs to be m...

Thanks jda

This baffles me I have to admit. Seems to be the most basic use case for service overwrite. Has nobody done this before ?
Am I using nagios in a weird way ?

One more thought. The + simply means that rather than overwriting the inherited values I want to add them to the local values. I understand that but that does not govern whether or not objects are inherited as far as I understand.

Box Thanks for the reply but I had already tried that. It doesn't make any difference. The behaviour is the same. To be honest I don't follow the logic here. It appears that object inheritance is already turned on even when I associate the service to the hg in a "standard" manner. I can te...
