Hi Patrick,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>so what check do I suggest I add in fir the host?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example my servers cfg uses check-server-alive for the host and check_ping for the service.</div>
<div>But the hosts are ok in that scenario as I only want to know when the host is up or down, I don't want to know when the service is critical.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But in the disk space scenario I only want to know when the service us critical because the disk usage as hit the threshold, I don't need a host up our down check notification.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>hope this makes sense?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards<br>
<div><br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have just setup Nagios to monitor the diskspace on my servers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nagios works fine monitoring and reporting diskspace but I cant get the notifications to work properly.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I also ping all my servers and the PING checks I have send me host alerts to say UP or DOWN but I have disabled service alerts as I don’t want them for the PING check.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I thought I would so the reverse and setup the disk check commands and disable host alerts and just have service alerts for when said server goes over the critical disk space limit I have sent.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Problem is no service alerts get sent out no matter how long the host is in critical state!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If I enable host and service alerts for the disk check command I get host alerts to say that the host is DOWN (which it isn’t its CRITICAL)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My test disk_check config file is located at the below link, thought it be best to provide the whole lot rather than snippets.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anybody explain why I don’t get any service alerts when the host goes CRITICAL and how I can get them please without having host alerts enabled as I don’t want them for my disk check commands</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thankyou in advance</p>
