want to send notification when the check output change even service is already in hard state.(critical or warning)

Post by aiqbal88 »

I am monitoring IBM Websphere MQ with Nagiosxi. My configured script is (if any queue is above 70%) send out notification. it works first time fine and sends warning alert about 1 queue or whatever queues are more than 70% full.
At this point service is in hard state and in warning state.
if 1 more queue is found to be above 70% during next check interval. nagios will not send notification as out put has only changed. service state and service state type have not. is there way i can notify if output changes in warning state but its hard state.

Note: cannot use Volatile or ack because our company does not let us do ack.

Not as far as I know. Nagios reacts to state changes. The text output is meaningless to nagios. If you want it to your plugin needs to react to different text output.
