Warning Alerts

[steve f]

You could set up a Nagios Escalation Notification  AKA " The Throw you Under the Bus " Notification where a secondary group ( tertiary,  quaternary, quinary, senary, septenary, octonary, nonary, etc )  of people ( techs, managers, etc ) get notified if an alert has not been addressed for x amount of time.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Warning Alerts
















I have an admin that does not pay very much attention to our
Nagios and Cacti servers. If he paid any attention he would have noticed a
warning about disk space on our email server and would have investigated and
solved the problem before it became critical.

 

Is it possible to setup different alerts for warnings? I
would like to setup a warning template to have a quick message like, "Better
Check Nagios!!!" And I would send these alerts to all of our admins
because this individual is more responsive when light is shed on issues.

 

On that subject, is it possible to monitor and alert for a sudden
change in disk space? Our situation is that within 2 days we lost over 80 GB of
space and it wasn't until I looked at Nagios that we became aware of the issue.

 

Regards,

 

Austin
