Escalation Problem: RESOLVED

[Joseph B. McQueen]

I wrote last week that I was having problems with escalations. I was 
able to resolve this problem myself finally but found something that may 
be a bug. The initial problem was that escalations simply were not 
functioning. A host that was down would send one notification and never 
send anything else. After running Nagios in full debug mode this 
morning, I noticed that when a host was down, it started checking it's 
status every 10 seconds instead of every 60 seconds. I remembered seeing 
a "use_agressive_host_checking" option in the nagios.cfg file, when I 
checked it, I found that I had it enabled. Once I disabled this option, 
my escalations immediately began working properly. It was one of those 
really screwy problems so I was wondering if anyone else had seen it 
before. If not, maybe Ethan can take a look at it and see if it might be 
a bug. Anyhow...

Have a good weekend all.
