Service Management

[angus]

Is there a paper that documents all the setting options in the Service Management window? I am specifically looking for the Check Settings, Alert Settings and Misc Settings tabs. There are a lot of options and i have not found a document that explains them all.

Thanks.

Those all get pulled from Core:

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... tions.html

So the names might be slightly different "Max Check Attempts" instead of max_check_attempts" but the idea is the same.

I found the section that i am interested in at the moment but there isn't a ton of info on it. The Notification_Enabled section is vexing me. I understand the on/off toggle but what do the Skip and Null values do?

what do the Skip and Null values do?

The settings you're interested in are defined as follows:

When you select "skip" in the definition, this will pass the template setting and the used value by nagios is "on".

When you select "null" in the definition, this will overwrite the template setting and also set this parameter to "not defined".

So by default, 'skip' will inherit template settings first and foremost - and if no settings are inherited the default value will be 'on'.

If you select 'null' the setting will remain undefined, regardless of template settings.

I hope that answers your question!

Am I all right to close this topic?
