Nagios Alerts

[LuisN]

Hey Guys,

Quick question, i have a Host that i by mistake had in the description the name lets say ABC but i deployed it and now i rename it to XYZ but the alerts coming in for the services are coming through as ABC still? =|

searched and searched cant find much

[slansing]

Are these alerts that occurred before the change was made and are just now coming in? Did you by chance change the Alias or Description instead?

[LuisN]

I changed the "Alias" that i see within the hosts.cfg file.
These are alerts that were before and after and still showing the Wrong alias.

Can you send us the configuration file of your host/service that is displaying this issue, and also a snippet of the title of the email that still shows the old information? Please remove any private information.

[LuisN]

define host{
host_name Hosts1
use generic-server-template
alias XYZ
address 192.168.0.34
_HOST_ID 1130
notifications_enabled 1
}

thats the new Config for that Hosts.cfg

snippet of the Service for that host

** RECOVERY alert - ABC / Temp: 1 OK ** <---- Should say XYZ

Have you checked your configurations to make sure you have no duplicates which may be sending this alert?:

Yes sir

Things look okay - No serious problems were detected during the pre-flight check

always check

I presume that you restarted the nagios service?
You could always stop the nagios service and then remove the retention.dat file:

Code: Select all

service ngaios stop
rm /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat
service nagios start

This will force all you checks to reschedule though.

[LuisN]

Let me try the retention.dat removal.. yea restarted the service a couple of times.

Let us know if removing the retention.dat fixed your issue.
