Notifications when I don't want them

[Ian Davidson]

Hi All,

I've got a problem whereby although it appears (to me) that I've
disabled notifications for a particular service, I'm still getting
notification emails about it!
Maybe I've done something wrong...

I run a distributed monitoring system and manage all the config files
for all the remote servers on the central server (and rdist them out
when changes are made). On the central server I'ce created individual
remote-server files, eg>

Remote-server1-hosts.cfg, remote-server1-services.cfg
Remote-server2-hosts.cfg, remote-server2-services.cfg  and so on.

I call these files from the main nagios.cfg file.
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/global-services.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg

#CONFIG FILES RDIST'D  DISTRIBUTED SERVERS ########
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/andretti-hosts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/andretti-services.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/alesi-hosts.cfg
cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/alesi-services.cfg

I also have a   global-services.cfg  file which all servers get. In this
file I've setup a ping service and attributed all hosts to it using the
'*' wildcard. It's this ping notification that's driving me nuts. Below
is the  global-services.cfg file I'm using. I believe I've disabled all
the bits that would generate a notification...but I still get 'em. Any
ideas?

Cheers,

Ian
