Hi,
Just a quick question - I'm changing the max_check_attempts from 1 to 3 for
a specific plugin and I wondered, does this mean that an email notification
won't go out until the 3rd attempt is reached ? (Which is what I want to
achieve). Or will all 3 attempts generate an email notification.
The docs say the following :-
"max_check_attempts: This directive is used to define the number of times
that Nagios will retry the service check command if it returns any state
other than an OK state. Setting this value to 1 will cause Nagios to
generate an alert without retrying the service check again. "
Am I understanding this correctly ?
Thanks,
Deborah
