Here is the problem I have- 1. send critical/warning alert to nagios 2. confirm alert is displayed 3. send OK status to nagios 4. confirm nagios displays status OK 5. time passes 6. nagios displays the item in warning status with alarm message from 1. previously. I have pasted the section out of the nagios services.cfg below (it's basically straight out of the doco...) What I really want nagios to do at point 6 is to keep on displaying what-ever it was sent last until I send it something else. (I have over 200 hosts with many services and I don't want all of them polling nagios every x minutes). Is there are a configuration option to do thist? thanks for your help Cheers Murray define service { use generic-service name passive_service active_checks_enabled 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 0 register 0 is_volatile 0 check_period 24x7 max_check_attempts 1 normal_check_interval 1 retry_check_interval 1 check_freshness 0 contact_groups unixteam check_command check_dummy!0 notification_interval 120 notification_period 24x7 notification_options w,u,c,r stalking_options w,c,u } define service { use passive_service service_description DiskCheck hostgroup_name lws } </BODY> </HTML>
