Single notification for passive
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2015 6:48 am
Hi,
First time posting. I have been using Nagios core at all of my customer sites and it has been very helpful in keeping my group on top of issues. Leave it to say that I have been a advocate in my company that we use this tool as a standard.
I have a issue with passive alerts that I have seen people have issues with but never any resolution. I am using Nagios passive alerts to keep track of 30 Netezza database events. Works well except it only notifies once weather I acknowledge it or not. I don't get why thy would work this way. I have a work around I have developed. It seems to be abit of a kludge but I don't know what else to do. I have a script that runs out of cron that reads the status.dat using a perl module that is available on the exchange and allows me to pull settings out. So what I am doing now is sending a custom notification at a regular interval for those passive alerts that haven't been acknowledged.
Any thoughts as to why passive alerts act this way ?
Thank you
Frank
