Submit passive check result for a service sending out duplicate alert mails?

[Mike Koponick]

Karan,

 

If this is a distributed monitoring setup, you will need to turn off
notifications on the "sensor" at that is doing the checking.
Notifications should be turned on the central server where Nagios/NSCA
is accepting the checks.

 

Thanks!

 

Mike

Hi, 
I've got Nagios-1.3 installed on rh7.3.The nagios.cfg i'm using is as
below.Rest cfg files are as per the docs.

______________________________
The issue i'm facing is that when an external command is run like
"Submitting a passive check for a service" i receive two email alerts
rather that just one. 
I've checked the no.of entries of this external command made in the
nagios.cmd n found that just one entry is made per external command,is
something like<div class='indent'>[1138685516]
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;nkaranuk;GENERIC_DB_CONNECTION;2;submitting
a passive check manually</div>.So is this a normal behavior or i'm
missing some key configuration that is causing these duplicate alerts. 

ran 'ps axuw | grep nagios' ..got only single nagios process as below 
root 1105 0.0 0.0 1816 840 pts/0 S 22:07 0:00
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

looking forward to your thoughts, 
nkaranUk
