Service Notification get send without any contact setup

Post by mkeil77 »

We just setup the NAGEVLOG for testing on one of our servers and noticed a strange behavior
of our nagios server.

Even we setup no contact/contact group for the notification in the service settings and also none in any of the service templates
Nagios is still sending out notifications to our admin group.

any idea where the problem could be?


thanks in advance for your support

Lets work backwards, what type of notifications? host or service or both? Please share the host and services configuration files for the objects which are notifying you. As well as all templates assigned.

Can you also post any entries in /var/log/messages that correspond to when the notifications are being sent out.

My guess is this is an issue with implied inheritance. Relevant snippet from the object inheritance page:

The service is probably pulling contacts from the host it is attached to. You can disable notifications in the CCM for that service if you do not wish to receive them.
