Hi Everybody !!!!

We can see, in the "State History" , that if a "host" or "service" presents records with the "Hard" type, we have too an email alert.

But in the case of "Soft" type, do not have an email alert. Is this correct?

What are the differences between "Hard" and "Soft" type?



Thanks for your help !!!!!Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.0 (Maipo)

A hard state is reached after the host/service has been in a non-OK state X times in a row, where X is the value you have set for max_check_attempts. And you are correct that a soft state will not typically send an email.

Thanks for your help !!!!!

Are we clear to close this thread?
