Nagios Support Forum

Good afternoon,

We have defined a passive service and written a bridge that fires alerts into Nagios.

One thing I notice is that when I send multiple CRITICAL alerts on the same host/service then I only see one in the logs. I have my service defined as follows:

define service {
host_name BA32195
service_description SUM002
use xiwizard_passive_service
max_check_attempts 1
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_interval 60
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
contacts nagiosadmin
stalking_options n
_xiwizard passivecheck
register 1
}

I thought I had volatility & Stalking enabled and that that should track all alerts and show me each one?

The "stalking_options n" setting for that service shows that it is not enabled for that service and that is why the multiple alerts are not getting logged.
Go in to the Core Config Manager > Service menu and edit that service. Then go to the Alert Tab and enable the Stalking Options.
Try that and let us know if this works for you.
