Nagios Event Log Checking
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2017 12:53 pm
Just added event log checking on Nagios 4.1 Core
Getting this error
TGCS001 Check Event Logs Notifications for this service have been disabled CRITICAL 02-09-2017 12:44:07 0d 0h 42m 54s 3/3 warning: EventLog: The system uptime is 42648 seconds. (1), eventlog: 1 > critical
This event is event id 6013 and is an informational event not an Error or Warning I only want Error and Warning events to be checked.
My code service definition
My NSClient.INI entry nsclient is 4.1.73 version
So why is this information event alerting?
After a hour it will clear but it should never error in the first place
What is wrong with my code?
Thanks
Tom
