Hi again. I have bad news(for me,at least). I remove the flap announcements and notifications are not working. Here's the debug log for nagios: [1231835680.728809] [032.2] [pid=14526] ** Checking host notification viability for contact 'user'... [1231835680.728838] [032.2] [pid=14526] We shouldn't notify this contact about DOWN states. [1231835680.728858] [032.0] [pid=14526] No contacts were notified. Next possible notification time: Thu Jan 1 02:00:00 1970 [1231835680.728873] [032.0] [pid=14526] 0 contacts were notified. So it seems that the contacts didn't inherited the template??? were found. Again, my configs read: # contactgroups admins define contactgroup { contactgroup_name admins alias admins members nagios,user } #contact template define contact { name generic_contact host_notification_period 24din24_7din7 service_notification_period 24din24_7din7 host_notification_options d,u,r,n,f service_notification_options u,c,w,r,n,f host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email register 0 } define contact { contact_name user use generic_contact alias utilizator_generic email &nbs p; smo@localhost } define host { host_name host1 alias host1 address 192.168.1.1 use &n bsp; generic_host_tpl } define host { name generic_host_tpl process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 active_checks_enabled 1 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_period 24din24_7din7 obsess_over_host 0 check_freshness 1 freshness_threshold 0 check_command is_icmp_alive max_check_attempts 1 event_handler_enabled 0 notifications_enabled 1 notification_interval 5 notification_period 24din24_7din7 notification_options d,u,r,f stalking_options d,o,u register 0 action_url /nagios/pnp/index.php?host=$HOSTN AME$ } <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 12, 2009 at 3:49 PM, Marc Powell <<a href="mailto:marc@ena.com" target="_blank">marc@ena.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div> On Jan 12, 2009, at 5:44 AM, alex alex wrote: > Notification: FLAPPINGSTOP > Host: host1 > State: UP </div>> Or for a service <div> > Notification Type: FLAPPINGSTOP > > Service: is_alive > Host: host1 </div><div>> Is it the right behaviour (to put flapping instead up/down if the > flapping is enabled) ? </div>Yes, if the host or service were in a flapping state, which these were. flapping is different than a normal up/down and that notification type is provided should you want or need to make that distinction. If you'd rather just receive up/down notifications, disable notifications for flapping. <div> > Anyhow, some notifications are sent and that's the main good news.
