How to change Switch notification options

[lafargeuser]

Monitoring switch using nagioscore. Able to receive Email notification, But further to this, I would like to change
from notification_options d,r to notification_options c,u

c=critical
u=up

The reason for I have integrated Nagios core to service desk tool for autoticketing & service desk tool is configured such way that if any Email notification receive for Critical,ticket will be created, in above case receiving Email notificaton with Down message , I would need to change this. How should I do that.
I tried changing in tempate.cfg but didnt work. below is sample file pasted.



# Define a template for switches that we can reuse
define host{
name generic-switch ; The name of this host template
use generic-host ; Inherit default values from the generic-host template
check_period 24x7 ; By default, switches are monitored round the clock
check_interval 5 ; Switches are checked every 5 minutes
retry_interval 1 ; Schedule host check retries at 1 minute intervals
max_check_attempts 10 ; Check each switch 10 times (max)
check_command check-host-alive ; Default command to check if routers are "alive"
notification_period 24x7 ; Send notifications at any time
notification_interval 30 ; Resend notifications every 30 minutes
notification_options d,r ; Only send notifications for specific host states
contact_groups admins ; Notifications get sent to the admins by default
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS - ITS JUST A TEMPLATE
}

Take a look at the following documentation:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... tions.html

Hosts and services have state flags specific to them, for instance a host can not be in a critical or warning state, only a service can. In that respect hosts can only be up or down, not Ok or Critical like a service. Hope that makes sense.
