False Ping notifications
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2014 11:31 am
Since Wednesday morning, we have experienced a weird issue with Nagios sending critical notifications for Ping.
The following notification is sent:
State: CRITICAL
Info:
CRITICAL - IP ADDR: rta 5399.587ms, lost 80%
A recovery notification follows 5 minutes later.
If I try to do a manual ping from nagios server to the same servers, I never get errors, it continually pings forever. I've also tried pings from several other servers to each other without issue.
I have since restored configuration to a point before the Wednesday morning when the problem began. This did not resolve the issue.
Nagios is sending out the notifications about once an hour, always for a different server.
