Duplicate Email For the Critical Alert

Post by tinut89 »

Hi,

I am getting duplicate alert mail for the same critical issues.

As per configuration it is suppose send alerts after 72 hours if any critical alert is triggered.

Let me know why I am getting this error, I have searched but unable to find the root cause.

When I try to send a custom alert from nagios portal [for the same critical alert] its not happening but its happening when nagios send the critical alert by itself.

Note: I have just given a single machine, this is happening for many machines for services.

What version of nagios are you running? Are you using mod_gearman?

Can you also show the output of the following

Code: Select all

ps -ef|grep nagios.cfg
Finally, is what is show the complete configuration for the service or is there also a template applied?

I am getting this load issue frequently I followed your steps to fix, But it will come again once in a month. How to fix it permanently ?

I am using Nagios core 4.0.8 may be that will be an issue.

If I want to upgrade from 4.0.8 to latest version , what all steps I have to take without any impact on our current infra.
How to do it safely. Please assist.

All client version is
NRPE - Nagios Remote Plugin Executor
Version: 3.2.1

Is there any conflict issue if i upgrade the Nagios core to latest version with the current NRPE version ?

It is possible, we have seen a lot of this go away in the latest versions of Nagios XI

Upgrade to the latest would be my suggestion
