Nagios Support Forum

Hi There,

I've been using Nagios for more than 8 months and i'm very pleased with this tool.

Here is my question :

I want to set it up like this --> i had warning and critical in this case warning should every day alert and critical can be every three minutes.

So fat critical alert i'm getting it at every three minutes but i want to change the warning to per day alert.

How this can be done. Please assist me

Thanks

There isn't a native way of accomplishing this... but really it seems rather unnecessary. A critical sending alerts every 3 minutes is just going to annoy people... they will only take action against the Nagios server and not the problem.

You will probably just need to find a balance, every 1 hour or 2 hours is a pretty happy medium for important services and every 6 hours for less important ones. Remember it's always going to send an alert immediately when a failure is detected.

Jsmurphy,

Thanks for your suggestion.

By the way i'm running some critical application that runs in java it sometimes dies so this event should be critical in my term. Moreover some alerts like disk and ram warnings should alert me at every 1 hour or 6 hour per once.

I know this is bit tricky but this one will alert my developers in an consistent way of improving my system and codes in their application.

I cant let my server down with some critical problems.

Anyway i just configured in a different way by using timeperiod configuration.
