Nagios Support Forum

Hi

I know Nagios will send notifications whenever there is change of state of the service or Host. Is it possible for Nagios to send notifications at regular intervals (eg every 3hrs) irrespective of the state of service or host. Even if there is no change in Service state, Nagios should send notification email about the current state of the service at regular intervals.

Do we have such options in Nagios.

Nagios will only alert on "RECOVERY" not "OK". You could set the check to "Is_volatile", but that would send a "RECOVERY" notification on every check, so your checks would have to be 3 hours apart . . . What is the use case for this? Maybe just a cronjobed script that checks the service state every 3 hours and then sends an email would work?
