How to specify in notification a RECURRING problem?
Posted: Mon Jun 17, 2013 10:39 am
I have some issue which those responsible are not resolving. For example, disk space on a specific filesystem goes in to Warning or Critical state, an email (via notify-service-by-email) goes out, then the notification_interval is 1440 (1 day), and yet again the next day the same email goes out. The users who see that don't know if it is the same issue from the day before or perhaps the issue did get resolved, and this is new (we have recovery emails disabled at their (and my mgr) request).
so I was thinking, is there some way for Nagios to know that the notification you are sending again (~1440 minutes later) is from the issue that occurred the day before, and the state never went to OK, but remained in either Critical or Warning? If so, I want to tweak the email to say something to the effect of "Notification Type: RECURRING PROBLEM" rather than just "PROBLEM"
Thanks!
