I had configure notification to inform me that particular host is down in hosts.cfg
with following:
define host{
use generic-host
host_name XP-Pro
alias Hsiang’s PC
address 192.168.8.200
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 10
notification_interval 10
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,r
contact_groups owner
}
In order to check whether that is there any packets lost to the Host i uses check_ping
define service{
use generic-service
host_name XP-Pro
service_description PING
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 4
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups admins
notification_interval 20
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,c,u,r
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}
My questions are:
-
i found that when the host is totally down,only the owner email will received notification. No notifications is received by admin. i presume that when the host down, only host notification will be generated, is this true?
-
when there is a packet lost in the check_ping process, a log is found but no notification is received. i had enable notification_options w,c,u,r. why no notification when there is a ping warning?
thanks
