<DIV>Hi list<BR><BR>I've read the Nagios 2.0 documentation PDF, and I can't
understand some things about max_attempts, max_check_attempts, and
notify_recovery.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>My questions are:<BR><BR>1. What's the difference between max_attempts
and max_check_attempts?<BR><BR>2. I see both max_attempts and max_check_attempts
mentioned many<BR>times in the documentation, and there are 2 paragraphs which
specificall<BR>y define max_check_attempts, but no such specific paragraphs
for<BR>max_attempts. Why could this be?<BR><BR>3. I see max_attempts and
notify_recovery specified in the check_log plugin (and it's newer versions -
check_log2 and check_log3). Why will Nagios not start when I try to put
"max_attempts 1" into my service definition?<BR><BR>3. Why will Nagios not start
when I try to put "notify_recovery 0" into my service definition?<BR><BR>Can
anyone help me, please?<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR>- Terry Speirs
