Notifications

Yes, Eric, ditto what Mark said.  Great minds agree :-).  Thanks for the help, guys.  Nagios is now back to it's happy self.

I ended up doing the second one, to exclude certain hosts from the service.  That way, I can include services and hosts as they come on-line, one-by-one

ditto with what Marc said.

you can do something like this or remove hosts from hostgoup and specifically add the to the check_ping service check:

# perform service check on all hosts in hostgroup
define service{
    use                            generic-service
    hostgroup_name                  solaris-servers
    service_description            Ping
    check_command                  check_ping!200.0,20%!600.0,60%
    max_check_attempts              5
    notification_interval          60
    check_period                    24x7
    notification_options            w,u,c,r,f,s
    contacts                      glowe
}

# perform service check on hostgroup but not on the new servers
define service{
    use                            generic-service
    host_name                      !server9,!server10,!server11,!server12,!server13,!server14,!server15,!server16,!server17,!server18
    hostgroup_name                  solaris-servers
    service_description            Secure Shell
    check_command                  check_ssh
    max_check_attempts              5
    notification_interval          60
    check_period                    24x7
    notification_options            w,u,c,r,f,s
    contacts                              glowe
}

I just checked.  All added hosts are members of the hostgroup solaris-servers.  Thanks Eric.

Are the newly added hosts members of the hostgroup solaris-servers?

Thanks,
Eric

Hi All,

I've had nagios 3.0.3 on a linux box, going for several months now, checking swap, disk space, number of processes, and several other services on about 8 UNIX hosts.  Last week, a fellow admin decided he wanted to add a bunch of hosts.  He added the hosts, but only added the check_ping service for the hosts.  But for some reason, nagios is doing the additional aforementioned services, not just ping, so now I have all these errors.  My services file looks like this:

define service{
use                            generic-service
host_name                      server1,server2,server3,server4,server5,server6,server7,server8,server9,server10,server11,server12,server13,server14,server15,server16,server17,server18
hostgroup_name                  solaris-servers
service_description            Ping
check_command                  check_ping!200.0,20%!600.0,60%
max_check_attempts              5
notification_interval          60
check_period                    24x7
notification_options            w,u,c,r,f,s
contacts                      glowe
}

define service{
use                            generic-service
host_name                      server1,server2,server3,server4,server5,server6,server7,server8
hostgroup_name                  solaris-servers
service_description            Secure Shell
check_command                  check_ssh
max_check_attempts              5
notification_interval          60
check_period                    24x7
notification_options            w,u,c,r,f,s
contacts                              glowe
}

Any ideas on why all the extra monitoring?
