dont want notification when machine reboots

[Lalita Drolia]

Setting up downtime will not be possible. As our servers our being used
by individual users for testing purposes. And they may reboot the
machine in the normal process of their working. Asking them to schedule
a downtime would add overhead for them and we would not prefer to do
that.

 

So I guess I will have to go with Mark's suggestion if there is no way
to delay the notifications.

 

Thank you,

Lalita

IF the machines are rebooted at or between a particular time, then setup
DOWNTIME, (potentially setting it up in a script)  

 

with downtime, there is both fixed and dynamic, 

using dynamic I find best resembles a reboot senario;  you can set it up
so that the downtime will begin within a particular time frame, then
after the DURATION the downtime ends, because you proboly would like to
know if a machine does not go back up within the a specific timelimit.
With Fixed it fairly strait foward between here to here ignore
notification rules. 

 

Mind Host checks are a burden and sometimes induce a load on the Nagios
server, thus the sugestion earlier by Mark Powell is always a good way
to reduce some of that Host check load.

 

Good luck,

I've been having a similar problem and have thought about the solution
but haven't gotten around to implementing it yet.  Mark Powell's 
suggestion to rely on the service check notification is absolutely
right when you want to ignore brief bounces or lost pings.  I'm going
to do just that, but I will still have a host notification enabled
too...

I'll configure things so that the on-call engineers get the ping
service notification rather than the host notification - they don't
want to know about servers briefly bounced.  The host notifications 
I'll send only to me by email so I will know the next day which
servers have bounced overnight.  I'm hoping that will bring me the
best of both worlds.

Cheers,

Jim
