Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
I've got some interfaces with some virtual voice ports on them. Anyway we are getting alerts that they are down (which they should be).
I understand from reading the documentation that it is possible to stop a service from alerting, but what about interfaces within a service? How would I go about doing that? We want to alert on its physical interfaces but not these funny virtual ones.

Is there anyway I can write an object definition so suppress just those alerts?

Thanks very much for your help.

Alerts are controlled/initiated by your host/service checks, you would likely have to make changes to the actual service check plugin you are using in this case. Nagios will alert on the state change that occurs on your host/service and that is controlled by the warning and critical thresholds you check against, which are in turn are determined by the check plugin. What plugin are you using for this check? And what exactly are you trying to alert on?
