The trap comes in, an alert is emailed out, and the service status is set to critical. The problem is, subsequent traps come in and no further alerts are emailed out (although "Last Check" reads correctly). Here is the service config: # service FAX define service{ host_name faxmachine service_description FAX is_volatile 1 active_checks_enabled 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_period none max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 2 retry_check_interval 1 contact_groups mhanley notification_interval 0 notification_period 24x7 notification_options c check_command check_none } What do I need to do so that I'll receive an email alert for every trap that is sent? Thanks! -matt </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The problem is your notification_interval. Set at 0, this means that you'll never get another notification for the same status, even if a different event causes that status. With is_volatile set, you'll get a notification for every different SNMP trap that you get -- just set notification_interval to something small (like 1) if you expect to get multiple, identical traps in a row.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>--Erwin</DIV> ############################################################<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p> Intelsat is a global communications provider offering flexible and secure services to customers in over 220 countries and territories.
