I then posted to the devel list but never got a response and eventually just forgot about it.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The problem is, if a host or service is in scheduled downtime, nagios will send a notification that downtime has started for that host or service (normal). However, If you restart nagios during that downtime, nagios will send out notifications again stating that downtime has started. I’ve always noticed this issue with nagios. I don’t know what version I was running 18 months ago when I first noticed it, but I’m running 3.20 now and are still having this issue.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I have a cron job that will stop nagios, create an archive of the folder structure, and restart at 5am. I had several services in downtime until 8am for maintenance. Nagios sent notifications when downtime initially started last night, but then sent the same notifications again upon the restart several hours later at 5am, then downtime end at 8am.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I was able to successfully reproduce this issue (to rule out my configuration). I created a linux vm with nagios 3.2.0 using only localhost. The only configuration I changed was to the contacts for notification of downtime, notification options (s) for host, and notification period (changed workhours to 24x7 since today is Saturday). I put localhost in downtime and it sent the email (normal). I stopped nagios, waited a few min, restarted, and it sent another email saying downtime has started. It will do it either if nagios is restarted or reloaded.
