Disable notifications for service check timeout
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2018 4:45 am
Hi,
we are monitoring an environment with very frequent, totally random and perfectly legit downtimes. Due to these pecularities it is difficult to use a schedeuled downtime approach. Moreover we don't need an aggressive notifications in place because most of the services are low impact, so a lazy notification is ok. Just one email per day would be sufficient for the vast majority of services.
I'm seeking for suggestion to reduce the number of notifications in case of false positive/service check timeout situations: is there any way I can only be reported if a service is really in a fault state (i.e. its value is outside of the boundaries imposed with -c and -w) instead of when it isjust timing out for whatever reason?
