Notifications

[Sapon, Dimitry]

Hi Jerad,
 
Is your requirement for services with active/passive (or both) checks. 
 

*	
	If you aren't using active checks at all, then you can set it to
1 simply. 
*	
	If you are using only active, then the whole point of max retry
is so it doesn't notify you right away but gives itself sometime to make
sure that the service isn't simply being restarted (for example).
*	
	If you do need max retry to be above 1 for active but want
passive checks (via send_nsca) to send out a notification right away,
there is only one what that I figured out to do this. Have whatever
script that you have call send_nsca to alert nagios, where the amount of
alerts sent is equal to the max retries. That way your passive check
sends your service into a Non-Ok hard state right away and notifications
are sent out. That's only needed for non-ok alerts. If you are sending
an OK alert, you only need to send it once, since that's all that's
required to bring the service back to an OK state and send the OK
notification (if setup).

Does that help?
 
Regards,
Dimitry

Does Nagios only send out notifications once it has reached the max
retry on services?  If so, is the only way to make it automatically
notify you as soon as there is a problem to set the max retry to 1?
 
Thanks
