Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

For SNMP trap: How to block the service status when warning/critical trap is received ?

for example, actually if nagios receive an warning SNMP trap (for a hardware problem), the service status is warning of course "BUT" if an new trap is received with informational state (not for the same hardware problem, an notification of login user for example),

the status change from warning to normal... it's a problem because the real warning status is forgotten, replaced !

Is it possible to prevent the change of status when it is already warning or critical... ?

The only options you really have for that would be to remove the informational traps from snmptt so that it would not alert Nagios on informational traps AND/OR setup NSTI so that you could view historical traps.

Ok thank you
May be an feature for future release .... ?
Bye
