Notification just one host

Post by casilva »

Hi,
Sorry, I don' t speak english, but a will try write my doubt.

I have 2 hosts and they are the same configuration, service definition and host definition.
Both hosts are down, but when I start nagios I received notification only to 1 host.
I configured my contact for send telegram.

I would like to know, why I am receiving just one message if the 2 hosts are down.

Follow the files that I used for my configuration:

Configuration of hosts1

Code: Select all

define host{
        use                     linux-server            ; Name of host template to use
                                                        ; This host definition will inherit all variables that are defined
                                                        ; in (or inherited by) the linux-server host template definition.
        host_name               kibana
        alias                   Kibana
        address                 host-kibana
        }



define service{
        use                             local-service,graphed-service         ; Name of service template to use
        host_name                       kibana

Is the host that you didn't receive the notification setup for Downtime or that it is acknowledged that is is down?
That would stop the Notifications for that one host from being sent.

Hi,
I solved my problem, I don't know why just one host was receiving notification, but my problem it was the period of notification.
Sometimes I was testing in a valid period, sometimes in a invalid period, after this problem I discovered it.

Before the host define in templates it was:
notification_period workhours

Now is:
notification_period 24x7

Thanks!!!!
