There was a nice Artikel in a german IT-Magazine (IX) some time ago. They explained how a error event runs through several filters before an eventhandler or a notification is triggered. The filters are built from the settings of each service-check´s properties. So, if an error occures, all filters are requested before an event like notification, enventhandler o.s. caomes up.

For what do you need to know this? I see no problem in this behaviour, as you should know and control exactly which settings you have for your checks...

Betreff: [Nagios-users] notification_options vs. notifications_enabled inhost definitions


Hello Nagios Users,

neither the Nagios' online docs nor Wolfgang Barth's Nagios book 
(issued by Open Source Press in German, and by No Starch Press in
English)
could unambiguously explain the difference between the two mentioned parameters within a host definition context to me. I so far only (maybe erratically) concluded that notification_options takes precedence over notifications_enabled for state retention's sake. For instance, what about such a contradicting definition (at least nagios pre-flight check doesn't complain about it)?

    notification_options                n
    notifications_enabled               1




Regards

Ralph
