Then about every hour I get more “stale” soft alerts, and then after the third try it goes to a HARD alert and I still get a ticket, though I’m not sure why it’s even checking if execution should be disable when nagios_cron is in a warning state. But not only does the active checks (service_is_stale) get executed but I’m also still getting notifications sent after 3 attempts, so it doesn’t really appear to be doing anything. Unfortunately right now these servers are so busy it’s hard to put them in debug mode. Have I missed something obvious with these?</div> <div><br> Dan</div> <div><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></div> <div><font face="Times New Roman"> </font></div> </span></font> <br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>10 Tips for Better Server Consolidation<br>Server virtualization is being driven by many needs. <br>But none more important than the need to reduce IT complexity <br>while improving strategic productivity.
