Hi all,

I am trying to create a custom service check that will alert me to an issue but not affect a hosts downtime/availability. Is that possible? I have the script written, but am trying to figure out what options need to go in the service.cfg file or in the script itself to make that happen.

Just as some further explanation/clarification... Basically, it's to alert me when there is an non-emergency environmental concern in the building (i.e. high temperature, or high humidity) so that we can take action to prevent downtime.

Thank you.

Maybe I am missing something in your query, but services don't change host downtime. Host checks define host downtime.

Perhaps https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... tions.html will be useful.
