Notifications not triggering
Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2020 2:31 pm
Hi all! This might be an easy answer and I may need to just walk away and come back to see what needs to be changed.. been looking at this for over an hr.
I've got a new Nagios install 4.4.5 and checks work 100% the problem I'm having is getting email notifications. I tried fiddling with the numbers but I just can't get it to be consistent. I got 2 or three emails and now nothing.
What I'm looking to do is check services every 3mins and if there is a problem to instantly alert me and then check again in 2 min and if there is still a problem to alert me again. and to keep doing that for 2hrs. It seems like a lot of emails but certain core services I need to be sure are operational.
Here's what I have.
if I do a send custom notification it goes through perfectly. Just not the critical / warning / down ones..
Any help would be very appr!
thanks
