notification question

One of our sites had a power issue and a circuit went down. The vendor came in and fixed the issue but the device still showed down in Nagios. This wasn't caught for several days. Is there a way to have an acknowledgement expire after 24 hours so it sends a notification if Nagios still sees it is a problem?

Hi Greg,

Once you acknowledge an alert, it won't send another alert until the state has changed again. The other option here is to put the host or service in a scheduled downtime, when the scheduled downtime expires, you will start to receive the alerts again.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Benjamin
