Nagios notification bug?

[Jeremy Russell]

I too have had this happen, I done things like turn notifications
completely off, but I still get them.  I finally will stop getting
notifications when I have stoped and started the daemon several times.
I'm not sure if it has something to do with retention or something.  I
can turn notifications back on and they start immediately.  It just
happens when disabling something.  It doesn't bother me though. :)

Ethan & Developers,

I have a machine running netsaint and nagios in parallel.

Nagios sends out warning pages on hosts that are configured not to send
"Warning" pages. The netsaint process running on the same machine
checking the same servers/services does not do this.

Here is my concern based on the nagios documentation:

When Do Notifications Occur? A: Hard state changes.
https://netsaint.inch.com/nagios/docs/notifications.html

(The documentation defines Hard state changes as...)
https://netsaint.inch.com/nagios/docs/statetypes.html

If I stop here then nagios paged me for the service going from OK ->
Warning (...which is a hard state change)


Here is my log of this event happening once. (It has happened more than
once.)
Recovery:
Service Ok[03-26-2003 13:49:28] SERVICE ALERT:
ServerName;PING;OK;HARD;3;PING OK - Packet loss= 0%, RTA = 99.77 ms

3.
Service Warning[03-26-2003 13:44:29] SERVICE ALERT:
ServerName;PING;WARNING;HARD;3;PING WARNING - Packet loss = 0%, RTA =
313.78 ms

2.
Service Warning[03-26-2003 13:43:29] SERVICE ALERT:
ServerName;PING;WARNING;SOFT;2;PING
WARNING - Packet loss = 20%, RTA = 458.14 ms

Service Warning[03-26-2003 13:42:38] SERVICE ALERT:
ServerName;PING;WARNING;SOFT;1;PING
WARNING - Packet loss = 20%, RTA = 190.77 ms


Here is the part of the config file that should have told nagios not to
page me for this service:

notification_options            c,r

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service

Is the notification_options directive ignored in nagios now?

The rest is just my configs for this service in case someone wants to
look at them and point out what I'm missing.
