Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
We have this configuration: Nagios XI 2011R1.5
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.3; 32 bit; VMWare Image of NagiosXI; No special configurations.Using Mozilla firefox.

We are trying to figure out this:
We have a problem with a service, and we get the Notification of that PROBLEM. So far, so good.
But also we are receiving another HOST notification, indicating ** PROBLEM Host Alert: Servername is UP **

What could be the reason for this and how can I avoid it?

Below you will find the definition for host and one the service.


define service {
host_name cwm-sfr-actcluster1
service_description PayTV Recepcion XML desde Liberate
hostgroup_name Tertio

}

Any comment, do you need anything else?

Please, refer to our documentation on Nagios XI Users and Contacts at http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ntacts.pdf.
Make sure that your contacts and contact groups are defined properly.
Can you send us an example of a contact definition?

Ok thanks lmiltchev, I will remove from the contacts the checks for hosts, and check only n.
So far it seems to be working.

Good deal. Let us know if you have any additional questions.
