notifications for recovery, but not on error

[Greg Haygood]

I wish it were that easy, but all contacts are defined like that.

When I view the config cgi, the "good" and "bad" hosts & services seem to
have the same parameters across the board.  I even setup a wildcard
hostgroup that included every host, adding me as the sole contact.  Again,
when I faked the outages, I encountered the same inconsistent notifications
as before.

Anything else I should be looking for?

  What do you have defined for the host & services? Maybe a typo?

  service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
  host_notification_options       d,u,r

    I'm having a frustrating problem with the notifications. Don't remember
    anything coming across the list in the last couple of months, and
there's
    nothing in the archives that I can find. Some of my hosts/services react
    the way I expect them to. A lot of them don't, and I can't figure out
why.

    I'm simulating outages with ipf on the nagios host, by cutting off
access to
    various hosts and services. When the outage occurs, nagios always
notices
    and logs the problem. Sometimes it will log the H/S NOTIFICATIONs, other
    times it won't. When it does, notifications go out fine; when they
don't,
    nothing (obviously). However, when I re-enable the access (by turning
off
    ipf), I get recovery notices for everything, including the H & S that I
    didn't receive outage notices for. The notifications info for any host
or
    service reflect the same: no problems were rep! orted, but all
recoveries
    were. Argh.

    My timeperiods are all 24x7. The ones that work are in two hostgroups,
but
    all the other groups look the same (and some are configured the same,
except
    for name & label). My contacts and contact groups look fine. I've
    forcefully re-enabled all checks and notifications via a * hostgroup.
I've
    zero'd the retention variables and killed the state retention file.
Nada.

    Anyone have any ideas, or seen something similar to this? Does this make
    sense? I've been pounding on it most of the week, so my head's a little
    foggy by now.

    My configs are split among a lot of files, but I'll post if necessary.

    Thanks in advance.
