Will notifications play catch up after being disabled
Will notifications play catch up after being disabled
We're rolling out a new Nagios XI box and have disabled notifications because we were getting bombarded with false pages. Will Nagios play catchup once we enable notifications again and continue where it left off?
Re: Will notifications play catch up after being disabled
Not sure if you disabled notifications on a User level, or maybe you placed the items in downtime? Putting them in downtime could be useful, it would disable notifications, and enable you to negate the time from reports later on.
Either way, once you resume I believe notifications will be based on the next status found after you re-enable them in either case (i.e. old notifications won't all send at once, it will be based on actual current status'). I'm not 100% certain though.
The Home -> Mass Immediate Check tool could be helpful to check everything en masse before you resume notifications to verify things are 'OK'.

@455157 is correct - once notifications are re-enabled then they'll work on the next status and wont send retroactive notifications.
