Status Change at SOFT 2 ?

[Martin Schichl]

Dear list,

as I did not get any hints on my original questions, I try to formulate my problem
a little bit in another way.

My problem is, that I get within my 200 watched services often CRITICALS althought
there is just a simple network-problem and not a REAL problem. This network-problem is
normally gone at the next query.

My first idea was to tell nagios via a config file, that it shall change it's status from
OK to CRITICAL not before state SOFT 2.
But I think this is not the way ...?

Other ideas:

- Is it possible to "tell" nagios that network-problems are not CRITICALS ?
	(Dangerous, because after a bunch of network problems you cannot tell if
	the service is still alive)

- Or can you tell nagios always send two requests at nearly the same time. 

Thanx,

Martin

Betreff: [Nagios-users] Status Change at SOFT 2 ?

Dear list,

as I manage a number of servers, which are quite remotely placed, via
nrpe it 
often happens that one or the other service(s) of the watched servers
will show 
errors due to network insuffency.

Examples:
  - "SSL Handshake not completed ..."
  - "No response after ... seconds ..."
 
So this service will fall into the state SOFT 1 - But after the next
query the 
service is OK again.

So I get many warnings/criticals which are not real problems of the
machines.


My question:

Is there a possibility to change the state of a service not at the first
fault (SOFT 1) but after the second fault (SOFT 2) - because then it
will
more likely be a real problem ...

Or is there a possibility that I can configure nagios in that way that
there 
has to be a second fault query of the same service before the state fo
the 
service will fall from OK into SOFT 1 - and the status will change?


Any hints?

ThanX,

Martin
