Notification_Interval query

Good afternoon,
I was wondering if, when you restart Nagios Core, if you can set it to send an alert for all the alert states that are currently active (e.g. disk space at warning or critical level), rather than it waiting for an alert status to change and only then sending an email?
Thanks in advance
Pete

If a state of a service is currently in warning / critical state, then you should have already received a notification about this depending on your settings.
Just to make sure I understand correctly, on a restart, you want notifications to be sent out once again for all services that are in any state that isn't OK? Is that correct?

Yes, that's correct!

It's not currently possible, the closest you could come would be to set retain_state_information=0 in your nagios.cfg OR set retain_status_information 0 on your hosts/services but it would still wait until the next check occurs.

That's fine - at least I can present the answer when I'm asked the question!
You can close this thread now - thank you.
