Passive check spam

[jdcassin]

Hi everybody!

This is my first time posting something here.
Im having a Nagios problem. Im sending traps from a power Generator to Nagios and then sending notifications. I use passive checks because I use external commands.
Everything is working fine and Nagios understand traps and send notifications, the problem is sometimes Generator sends more than 1 trap in less than 5 seconds and it gets anoying when it keeps sending alerts (if generator sends 1 trap in a minute ill get 1 notification, if generator sends 100 traps a minute, ill get 100 notifications), I want to know if there is a way to tell nagios not to send lots of passive checks notifications. With Active checks everything is fine, the problem is: passive checks.
If anyone can help, Ill appreciate.

Cheers!

I think you have defined these services as volatile.

Code: Select all

is_volatile			1

Try setting it to 0 and it should only send 1 notification when 100 traps are received in a short window.
