Service Escalation setup

[JohnFLi]

I am trying to setup a service escalation for my SQL machines.

I create a new service escalation, give it a name, the numbers, who to contact

Then I add the various hosts managed hosts section
Then managed Service, I add the various SQL services (all differently named)

When I go to apply I get the following error

Code: Select all

Error: Could not find a service matching host name 'SQL9' and description 'G1PPSRT03 SQL Service' (config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/serviceescalations.cfg', starting on line 82

The host SQL9 has the SQL service named 'SQL9 -MSSQL ECOMSYNC Service'
While the service description 'G1PPSRT03 SQL Service' is with the host named G1PPSRT03

So if I take that host and service that it complained about out, and try to apply again, it complains about another host/service pair.

Am I just not getting how to set this up right??

When using multiple hosts AND you individually specify the services, each host must have the identically named service for this to work.

For example:

define serviceescalation {
host_name windows01,localhost
service_description Drive C: Disk Usage,Root Partition
first_notification 3
last_notification 7
notification_interval 1
escalation_period 24x7
escalation_options c,
}

This WON'T work as I know my windows01 host doesn't have a 'Root Partition' service and my localhost doesn't have a 'Drive C: Disk Usage' service.

You will need to create a separate escalation definition per host.

When using multiple hosts AND you specify all services (*), nagios determines that services are for what hosts and it works.

I was afraid of that.

Guess you can close this item
