<html> <head> <style></style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> Ok, been a long week and maybe i'm just overlooking something... Defined a service on a host like such... define service{ use my_template host_name my_host notifications_enabled 0 service_description my_service check_command my_check!my_variables } However, notificaitons are NOT disabled. I previously had them enabled and am now disabling them after the fact via the config file. Sure my_template has notifications ENABLED, but my service definition should override that setting. I have the issue on several checks and I have fixed it by going into the retention.dat file and blowing out the line about notifications and restarting nagios. My theory is I previously disabled and renabled notifications via the webGUI, then updated the configuration file to disable... and that last GUI "enabled" is somehow overriding the one in the config file that says it should be disabled. Am I right? Crazy? Just doesn't seem to work as I think it would. -- Mat W. - <A href="http://www.techadre.com">http://www.techadre.com</A> <hr />Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/171222986/direct/01/' target='_new'>Get it now.</a></body> </html>
