Not dispatching notification for critical service check

Post by jkinning »

I have a host with several service checks. I noticed one was critical and had been for a little over 2 hours. I looked at the "view service notifications" and it was blank. So I went to the CCM and verified the service and it had the proper contact and time and all that good jazz. Everything looked alright.
Here is the service check:

Code: Select all

define service {
        host_name                       XPRESSION1P
        service_description             Filecount - CRC Letter Fax.pdf
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_files -a path=D:/RealTime_Output/CRCLetters/Fax warning=count=75 critical=count=100!!!!!!!
        max_check_attempts              5
        check_interval                  5
        retry_interval                  1
        check_period                    xi_timeperiod_24x7
        notification_interval           60
        notification_period             20minute-scheduled
        notification_options            c,r,
        notifications_enabled           1
        contacts                        edcd Test Print Group
        register                        1
        }
Timeperiod:

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
        timeperiod_name                         20minute-scheduled
        alias                                   20 Minute Downtime Nightly

        sunday                                  00:00-03:55
        wednesday                               04:10-24:00

        saturday                                04:10-24:00
        }

Could you also show us the definition for the edcd Test Print Group contact?

While your at it, please post the service definition segment for XPRESSION1P from /usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache. This will help us to see the entire compiled definition as well.

I just heard from other users and it appears Nagios is sending no notifications out.

Possiby this has been resolved - https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=545

There was a small window of time where there was a broken 5.3.0 installer. Are you on 5.3.0? If so, please re-download and re-run the upgrade.

So far that seems to help. If you could keep this open until Monday and then you can close it just to make sure.
