James,

I thought I was trying to make this config as simple as possible.  I'm only monitoring five UNIX boxes right now.  Hopefully going to expand that soon with Nagios :->


The hosts I'm monitoring didn't have any notification options, but they do now.  All six.  This is what I have for the zombie processes:

define service{
host_name                       blarney,frogmore,katz,dunvegan,redfort
hostgroup_name                  solaris-servers
service_description             Check Remote Zombie Processes
check_command                   check_nrpe!check_zombie_procs
max_check_attempts              5
notification_interval           60
check_period                    24x7
notification_options            w,u,c,r,f,s
}

I don't have services disabled or enabled right now in any of the related service definitions (like the one above).  Do I need to explicitly turn them on?  I thought they were already on, considering I'm getting notifications already through email.  Please advise.  Thanks.

As I was telling another poster, make the config as simple as can be until
you get this issue worked out. ;-)  Meaning, use the default notification
macros and setup one host and one contact definition until you get this
working.  Have you checked your notifiction options in your 'Check Remote
Zombie Processes' service definition?

notification_options[w,u,c,r,f,s]

You most certainly want to have a 'c' in there.  Are notifictions enabled
for this service (as defined in the service template you are probably
using)?
