Is there a way to control the creation of notification logs? I have my own handler for sending emails & sms where depending on certain conditions will decide if it is necessary to send out notifications.

It works fine but the notification logs has entries for it even though I did not send out the actual notification.
Please advice.

Thanks

Unfortunately no, considering that this logic is handled outside the scope of nagios logic, we would only know that your script was called, not whether or not it sent a notification. You could have your script create an additional log file if you wanted but that would be outside of cores logging ability or scope.

Ok. Where is this logs stored in the database?

Thanks

Which log are you referring to? sreinhardt had suggested that your custom script do its own logging, so that log would be wherever you put it.

Referring to the first post, in which table is entries that show up in this screen stored in the database?

The notifications are stored in the ndo nagios database table: The nagios log entries from ndo are stored in the table:
