[Thomas Jens Lauritsen]

Hello

Check if your DNS is up - if you use DNS lookup in Nagios

Best regards

Hi,

Today, all of a sudden (I can't remember having done anything weird :) ) my
FreeBSD Nagios box started mailing alerts for *every* host listed in
Nagios.

Weird stuff:
- nagios.log doesn't show the alerts being sent out
- /var/log/messages file doesn't show anything funny
- /var/log/maillog shows nothing particular
- the Nagios eventlog doesn't show anything related

Any suggestion as to where the problem lies welcome...

Bas
