Tuning notifications

[McHenry]

New Nagios server with notifications working well

Server & virtual workstations run 24/7 and I receive notification via email whenever a condition WARNING or CRITICAL is triggered.

The physical workstations run ad-hoc and I receive notifications when they are powered off which I don't want. I only want to check their conditions and be notified when they are running.

I have servers, virtual workstations and physical workstations in their own host groups if this helps.

Is it possible to set one host group to send a notification when a condition is triggered at any time and set another host group to send a notification when a condition is triggered only when the host is running?

You should be able to just disable notifications in the configuration for the hosts themselves.

Code: Select all

notifications_enabled 0

By default the services should only send notifications if the host is UP.

When the host is DOWN you would not receive notifications.
