Alerts

Post by ancovington »

We turned off our Nagios Server when we were experiencing VM issues and getting large amounts of notification email alerts. We attempted to turn it back on, but it started flooding out emails again, but the issue has been resolved. Is there a command that we can use to delete mail messages/alerts that may be in the queue?

Alerts should be sent right away. They are not queued with the php mailer. If you are using sendmail, you can check if there is anything in the queue by running in the CLI:

Code: Select all

mailq
Are the notifications current or "old" ones? Aren't these just notifications for recoveries?

Do you know why we are still being flooded with notification emails if the issue no longer exists?

Thank you. This can be closed because it is no longer an issue.
