Nagios to send notifications

Post by LooD »

Hi everyone,

i need help to setup nagios to send notifications only when some host is down/critical or whatever for 2-3-4 periods of checks.
I am using a lot of checking over internet so some services have service check timeout due to internet, and on next pass it is ok, so i dont want those informations to be sent out. I am using nagios 3.3.1.

If someone knows how to set this up would be nice.

Thank you in advance.

This can be controlled with the "max_check_attempt" directive. This will cause nagios to retry the check X amount of times before an alert is sent.
