First of all thank you for taking the time to read this.
Here is the issue I have :
The email notifications does not seem to work for passive service checks.
It works well for active checks however.
I can see on the web GUI that the state of the passive service goes to warning, critical or OK state when there's a problem.
The service checking works fine, it is just the notifications that don't work.
Here is the definition of my services :
Generic service :
Code: Select all
define service {
name generic-service ; The 'name' of this service template
active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks are enabled
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are enabled/accepted
parallelize_check 1 ; Active service checks should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance problems)
obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess over this service (if necessary)
check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT check service 'freshness'
notifications_enabled 1 ; Service notifications are enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler is enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts
is_volatile 0 ; The service is not volatile
check_period 24x7 ; The service can be checked at any time of the day
max_check_attempts 3 ; Re-check the service up to 3 times in order to determine its final (hard) state
check_interval 10 ; Check the service every 10 minutes under normal conditions
retry_interval 2 ; Re-check the service every two minutes until a hard state can be determined
contact_groups admins ; Notifications get sent out to everyone in the 'admins' group
notification_options w,u,c,r ; Send notifications about warning, unknown, critical, and recovery events
notification_interval 60 ; Re-notify about service problems every hour
notification_period 24x7 ; Notifications can be sent out at any time
register 0 ; DON'T REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
Passive service (notification not working)
Code: Select all
define service {
name passive_sservice
use generic-service
active_checks_enabled 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
flap_detection_enabled 0
register 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 1
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
check_freshness 0
contact_groups admins
check_command check_dummy!0
notification_interval 60
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
}
Code: Select all
define service {
name local-service
use generic-service
max_check_attempts 4
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
register 0
}
The following service will trigger a notification upon a state change :
Code: Select all
define service{
use local-service ; Name of service template to use
host controller
service_description Check RabbitMQ consumers
check_command check_rabbitmq_consumers
}
The following service will NOT trigger a notification upon a state change, even if I can see the state change when navigating to the GUI of nagios
Code: Select all
define service {
use passive_sservice
service_description smsd
host raspnodeQuent
}
Both passive-service and local-service inherits generic-service, that defines
contact_groups = admins
notifications_enabled = 1
Therefore, I don't understand why notifications are not triggered with the passive_sservice.
Maybe is it because of the check_command dummy_check ?
Nagios version is Nagios Core 4.4.2
I hope I didn't miss anything, if there's any information you need, please don''t hesitate !
Thank you in advance for your help !
