checking if notifications are disabled

[sebastian krueger]

I am not aware of any such plugin, but it would be easy enough to write a
plugin that does that yourself in perl.

 

You could parse the 

http://hostname/nagios/cgi-bin/config.cgi?type=hosts 

and

http://hostname/nagios/cgi-bin/config.cgi?type=services

 

and make sure that plugins are enabled.

 

Of course it would be tricky with the one hour time difference, not that I
think of it. 

Maybe you could use escalations somehow? Not sure about that though.

 

Alternatively you might want to choose the "Re-schedule the next check of
this host" Host Command instead of disabling all notifications permanently.

 

There are surely other ways too, but that's what I can think of off the top
of my head.

 

Good luck, 

Sebastian.

Subject: [Nagios-users] checking if notifications are disabled

 

Does anyone have a simple way to check whether or not notifications are
disabled? Preferrably from the command line.

Occasionaly I or one of my colleages will disable notifications during an
outage or something and forget to turn them back on.

I want to write a check that sends an alert if notifications are disabled
for more than say, an hour. 

Thanks.
