<div class=Section1>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m facing a strange problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I have in my definitions services for which
notifications are disabled : I’m still running those services on all
nodes because it gives me indication something went wrong on all nodes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I recently had to suppress notifications for
all services of a hostgroups because of a general failure on those hosts, and
problem is that when I used the nagios CGIs to re-enable the service
notifications, notifications for those services I really don’t want any
notification got enabled too… and I had to disable all those
notifications in that hostgroup again using the CGIs (I hope you follow).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>So now I’m wondering how could I fix
the situation, and restore things to normal (i.e : according to services config
file) without loosing all services current state.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I just tried to use the following in my nagios
3.1 config file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>retained_service_attribute_mask=1<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>retained_process_service_attribute_mask=1<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Tried that, because it looks like the correct
value to use according to include/common.h is :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>#define
MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED
1<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>(by the way : what’s the real difference
between those 2 variables ? I can’t understand the real difference
reading the documentation)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Anyway : this didn’t work. Services are
still disabled on restart or reload.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I then tried this :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>retained_service_attribute_mask=MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>retained_process_service_attribute_mask=MODATTR_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I know values are wrong, but nothing
prevented nagios from restarting. And off course it still didn’t work,
services notifications are still disabled.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>So what ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Are these configuration option really
implemented ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I’m trying to look into the code, and
I don’t see anywhere the values defined in the code being used :<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>nagios-3.1.0]$ grep -r
retained_service_attribute_mask *<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>base/nagios.c:unsigned long
retained_service_attribute_mask=0L;<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>base/config.c:

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>base/config.c:
retained_service_attribute_mask=strtoul(value,NULL,0);<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>(and then, only html files)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>So the C variable wouldn’t be used at
all ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Am I missing something ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks && regards<o:p></o:p></span></p>
