Hi Guys,
I'm running Nagios with about 100 clients at the moment. As the clients
are on a VPN, I want to be alerted ONCE, whenever a host goes DOWN, only
during WORKHOURS.
Currently my hosts.cfg file contains;
---------------------------------
# Generic host definition template
define host{
name generic-host ; The name of
this host template - referenced in other host definitions, used for
template recursion/resolution
notifications_enabled 1 ; Host notifications are
enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Host event handler is
enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is
enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance
data
notification_interval 0 ; one alert
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status
information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status
information across program restarts
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL HOST, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_name vpn-client
alias VPN Client
address 192.168.111.111
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_period workhours
notification_options d
parents router2
}
----------------------------------
Despite this, whenever a host goes down I am sent 3 e-mails for the same
issue anywhere between 1 minute to 10 minutes apart.
I have looked for anything obvious and have come up empty. I may be
missing something but don't know what that is.
Cheers,
-Patrick
