I did as you advised. stop restart. I don't know what other processes to look for besides the one below. There weren't any running. isk-nagios:/usr/local/nagios/etc # ps -ef | grep nagios nagios 25494 1 0 14:48 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg root 25501 25032 0 14:50 pts/0 00:00:00 grep nagios -----Original Message----- From: Santhosh Kumar A [<A HREF="mailto:santhoshkumar.a@ramcoinfotech.com">mailto:santhoshkumar.a@ramcoinfotech.com</A>] Sent: Wed 3/7/2007 6:43 AM To: Ezra Radoff; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey ________________________________ From: nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net [<A HREF="mailto:nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net">mailto:nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net</A>] On Behalf Of Ezra Radoff Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2007 1:28 PM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] alerting flakey hello. I've been using nagios for a couple of months now pretty successfully, but I've noticed that the alerting function is a bit flakey. I've been over the configuration many times, but everything seems fine. The amount of alerting it does seems to change after I restart the service with /etc/init.d/nagios restart. It was sending warning and criticals. Then, after a restart, it wasn't sending service critical alerts. Then I restarted it again. It wasn't sending anything. Then I restarted it again, and it was sending warnings. check whether multiple nagios daemons running or not . stop nagios and ensure every nagios process is killed then do a start (don't use restart) Santhosh I'm using version 2.6 which I got from the CVS tree a couple of months ago. Can anybody give me a little help on this one? The alert just calls a script I wrote by hand which is referenced in the commands.cfg . I don't use the groups or anything. No alert attempt is showing up in the event log either. Thanks </BODY> </HTML>
