Nagios Support Forum

Hello There,

Is it possible to have output in Nagios as 'Critical' for 'Warning' alerts? so can we convert warning alert to critical?
Because for certain services we are getting output as critical & for some as warning, so instead of that warning alert should be treated as critical & we should get output as critical.
Where we need to make changes to get desired output?

Note- there is no separate threshold mentioned for such warning service alerts, they are log file monitoring alerts configured with the help NRPE wizard.

Screenshot attached for your reference.

It depends on what plugin you're using for them and if they are passive checks, are they passive checks or active checks? Which plugin are they using?

If it's an active check or a linux server, one option would be to use the negate plugin in front of your current command in Configure > Core Config Manager > Commands (or on the remote agent passive definition) to change the warning to critical:

Thanks for revert on this topic, this is for active checks.
Commands/plug-in we are using it-
check_nrpe
check_xi_service_http
check_xi_service_http_cert

And we are not using any warning threshold or something like that.

I think negate feature will not serve the purpose, what best solution you can suggest here?

It's up to the plugin if it has default warning/critical thresholds. So check_nrpe is reaching out and calling another plugin it's the end plugin that matters for the default thresholds.
