Hi,

I am having problems with (host- and service-) notifications not being send
out  when they should. Concrete example:

Host crashed on friday:
/---
Dec  9 21:45:38 cnode4 nagios: HOST ALERT: nectar;DOWN;SOFT;1;FPING CRITICAL
- nectar (loss=100.000000% )
Dec  9 21:45:38 cnode4 nagios: HOST ALERT: nectar;DOWN;SOFT;2;FPING CRITICAL
- nectar (loss=100.000000% )
Dec  9 21:45:39 cnode4 nagios: HOST ALERT: nectar;DOWN;SOFT;3;FPING CRITICAL
- nectar (loss=100.000000% )
Dec  9 21:45:39 cnode4 nagios: HOST ALERT: nectar;DOWN;SOFT;4;FPING CRITICAL
- nectar (loss=100.000000% )
Dec  9 21:45:40 cnode4 nagios: HOST ALERT: nectar;DOWN;HARD;5;FPING CRITICAL
- nectar (loss=100.000000% )

...

Dec 10 00:00:18 cnode4 nagios: CURRENT HOST STATE: nectar;DOWN;HARD;5;FPING
CRITICAL - nectar (loss=100.000000% )

...

Dec 11 00:00:19 cnode4 nagios: CURRENT HOST STATE: nectar;DOWN;HARD;5;FPING
CRITICAL - nectar (loss=100.000000% )
---/

Notifications on monday morning:
/---
Dec 12 07:00:29 cnode4 nagios: HOST NOTIFICATION:
nagios;nectar;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;FPING CRITICAL - nectar
(loss=100.000000% )
---/

I just upgraded to 2.0b5 (from 1.2)

out of global config:
/---
log_host_retries=1
retain_state_information=1
enable_notifications=1
use_retained_program_state=1
use_retained_scheduling_info=0
---/

host-config for the example:
/---
define host{
        host_name               nectar
        alias                   nectar
        event_handler_enabled           0      
        flap_detection_enabled          1
        process_perf_data               1       
        retain_status_information       1       
        retain_nonstatus_information    0    
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      5
        notifications_enabled   1
        notification_interval   0 
        notification_period     24x7 
        notification_options    d,u
        contact_groups          admpers
        }
---/

Any ideas how to further trace the problem?

I already had the same problem when enbling the global enable_notifications and restarting nagios; that maybe has another reason.

Thanks, 
  Holger.
