I finally have Nagios up and running pretty well at this point. I did get an
interesting event happen that I would like to get some feedback on if
possible.
- All was working well notifications for critical and recovery went
by email working fine
- As a last test I decided to reboot to make sure all still worked
well.
- I got over 5000 email notifications for critical and recovery ( I
have about 40 servers with three things being checked each: cpu, disk and
memory) three multiplied by 40 should have been at most 120 emails. I
figured that nagios was rechecking everything.
- I am not so sure why I got over 5000 email notifications (that is
five thousand). Thank goodness that I am also one of the email admins so I
was able to delete everything that went to my email address while the 5000
were coming in and did not blue screen the mail server.
Any suggestions on how I could have gotten over 5000 because I rebooted the
nagios server..
Thanks;
Eddie
