Nagios Support Forum

I have done all the configuration in remotehost.cfg and declared the same in nagios.cfg
Below is the sample configuration if have acknowledge/notification some of the host problems but the acknowledgement disappears after the service restart.

define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name Bharti_SOUTH
service_description Service ping
check_command check_ping!3000.0,80%!5000.0,100%
max_check_attempts 5
check_interval 5
retry_interval 5
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 5
notification_period 24x7
retain_nonstatus_information 1
notification_options w,c,r
contact_groups admins
}

Secondly i want to know that every time i add a new node in remotehost.cfg i have to restart the nagios service to make it node visible on front end.

Did you set the persist on the acknowledgement?

You have this defined in your nagios.cfg(which is not the default): You can find the meaning of it here:

[root@localhost var]# grep -i retain_state_information=0 ../etc/nagios.cfg
retain_state_information=0

problem still persist after changing as below

[root@localhost var]# grep -i retain_state_information ../etc/nagios.cfg
retain_state_information=1

I don't under your question. Your complaint seems to be that state isn't retained after a restart, but you have explicitly defined a configuration to not retain the state. Can you explain your issue?

Did you restart nagios after making the config change?
