controlling notifications a bit better

[Andrew Laden]

One thing to watch is that HOST alerts will get sent out as soon as the host
is detected down. You can play with the retry settings. But you generally
need to keep those short, as a host check supercedes all other checks, and
nagios will essentially pause until it determines status of the host.
 
You can also play with escalations to delay checks. Have no notifications
initially, and then use an escalation to send the alert later. This takes a
little work to get right.

Normal check interval: 5 min

Retry Check interval  : 5 min

Max check attempts :  2

 

-or-

 

Normal check interval: 2 min

Retry check interval:   1 min

Max check attempts:  9

 

-or-  

 

(This is the one I run on some services)

Normal check interval: 5 min

Retry check interval  : 1 min

Max check attempts: 6

 

 

Something along those lines should do it...Yay for math!

Hi,

 

I want certain hosts/services to only send an email alert if the
host/service is down for 10 minutes.

 

I've tried playing with max_check_attempts and the other obvious parameters
but I still get email alerts after only 1-2mins.

 

Can anyone please show me a sample config snippet or how they do it?

 

Cheers

 

Gav
