Set service inactive, still notifying?

Post by jbennett »

This is actually only as a result of another problem I'm trying to resolve, but it's come up before and I need to understand why.

I've set the service as inactive, yet we're still getting notifications that there are problems with that service.

Just trying to wrap my head around Nagios after having to pick it up from an individual who is no longer with the company.

Although you deactivated it, are you still seeing it in the Service Detail list?

It could be possible we have multiple copied of nagios running

Try this from the console as root

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
killall -9 nagios
service nagios start

That was it! thanks for the response. I had been beating my head against the wall on all of these notifications coming through even after having been disabled for some time now. This saves a lot of headache and in-box space... :P
