acknowledgements to epager ?

[aloclarit at aol.com]

Dh'ou ! for some reason retain_nonstatus_information was set to 0 in 
hosts.cfg ... my bad.

As far as the ack's are concerned the only 2 flags I have for 
host_notification_options are
d and u but I still got an ack through sms. It'd be ok to not get 
recover messages through sms.
Isn't there a way to specifically tell nagios what to do with acks ?

I think If you remove the "r" flag in host_notification option for your
pager contact, you will not
Get notificaton for ack's, but you will not get notifications for up
states either.

Check if you got retain_state_information=1 enabled in your host.cfg,
maybe you
Got it disabled there.
Retain_state_information will save your ack's in the
Retention file, but not the host alerts settings. For this you must use
retain_program_information.
