What the...

[Bishop, Dean]

yeah, everything is set to 1.  It seems (someone please correct me if i am
wrong) that only state changes are logged in nagios.log.
 
i have just got performance data working.
 
funny, i half-heartedly tried to get this working about a week ago and gave
up for more pressing issues (yes process_perfomance_data=1 and
service/host_performance_commands where defined).  Then, when i was poking
around today, i noticed the link on the "Process Info" page to enable
performance data.  Hey now it works!!??
 
whatever.
 
at least now i can see every check though.
 
later,
dean

Your logic is right...service notification will never occur when the host
also fails.  You will only get host notifications.

Also, can you include what your Log settings are in the nagios.cfg
(log_initial_states, log_service_retries, etc.)  May be part of the logging
problem.  Might want to make them all 1 for now to make sure everything gets
logged, if they're not all set to 1 now.

you know...now that i am paying attention, i don't get many service
notifications.  Hardly any as a matter of fact.  Lots of Host notifications
though.
 
why would this be?  i see services being checked.
 
please, someone confirm for me:  a service fails, host check is done, host
fails, services are no longer checked for that host, so max_check_attempts
for the services is never reached, no service notification is sent?
 
almost all of my devices are either up or down.  very rarely does just a
service fail. services currently defined are pretty much just port-23 checks
for switches and port 135 checks for windoze servers.

Can you include the bit of the config that shows the parent-child
relationships?

First, sorry bout the subject i realize that it is inappropriate.  it does,
however capture my initial response.

We are in the midst of many nightmares concurrently: smoking servers,
irreplaceable data lost, network latency, cold lunch, sore finger, you know
the whole gambut at once.


apologies to all.

here is another entry from my logs.  Each host is dependant on the
previously numbered host (e.g. Marshall-McLuhan-0561SW2A_4-HS7 is the parent
of Marshall-McLuhan-0561SW2A_5-HS7 who is the parent of
Marshall-McLuhan-0561SW2A_6-HS7, etc.

why, once Marshall-McLuhan-0561SW2A_14-HS7 is determined to be UNREACHABLE
(due to the failure of Marshall-McLuhan-0561SW2A_4-HS7), is the service
checked on Marshall-McLuhan-0561SW2A_14-HS7?

Can someone explain this to me??


why in the world is the service for testserver01.tcdsb.org being checked
after the host has been determined down?
also why is the host being checked before the service??
