BUG: "notification_interval" from the "serviceescalation"s is ignored/is not parsed

[Ilya Ruprecht]

Hi all!


<testbed description>

Following situation: Debian 4.0 + Nagios 3.0b1.

I defined a service-template SSH:
########################################################
define service{
        name check-ssh-service
	check_command check_ssh
	service_description SSH
        active_checks_enabled 1
	passive_checks_enabled 1
	parallelize_check 1
	obsess_over_service 1
	check_freshness 0
	notifications_enabled 1
	event_handler_enabled 1
	flap_detection_enabled 1
	failure_prediction_enabled 1
	process_perf_data 1
	retain_status_information 1
	retain_nonstatus_information 1
	is_volatile 0
	check_period 24x7
	max_check_attempts 3
	normal_check_interval 10
	retry_check_interval 1
	contact_groups linux-admins
	notification_options w,u,c,r
	notification_interval 60
	notification_period 24x7
	register 0
########################################################


Then i defined a hostgroup, for which i use the SSH service

########################################################
define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name  vpn-server
        alias       VPN-Gateways
        members     vpn-gw1-remote,vpn-gw1-local
        }
########################################################


Now i defined a service that uses the SSH-template and
is applied to the group "vpn-server"

########################################################
define service{
        use                     check-ssh-service
        notes                   SSH auf Linux-Servern
        hostgroup_name          vpn-server
        service_description     SSH
        }
########################################################


And at last i defined two service-escalations for SSH

(i've set the intervals so short only for testing purposes)
########################################################
define serviceescalation{
        hostgroup_name          vpn-server
        service_description     SSH
        first_notification      1
        last_notification       5
        notification_interval   3
        contact_groups          linux-admins
        }

define serviceescalation{
        hostgroup_name          vpn-server
        service_description     SSH
        first_notification      5
        last_notification       0
        notification_interval   10
        contact_groups          linux-admins
        }
########################################################

"interval_length" is set to 60 seconds in nagios.cfg.
</testbed description>


<main>
"notification_interval" is ignored if i enter a value another then
"0"(zero). If i enter a zero - or even nothing - then i see in the
webgui - "Notify Only Once (No Re-notification)" in the "Notification
Interval"-column for these hosts.
Even if I enter an clearly nonsense, like "jsdfjfsdakjl" - the value is
ignored and the "pre-flight-check" dont brings an error.
</main>


Addendum:

I installed Nagios 3.0b2 and tested the serviceescalations with it - with the same result.
