I want "Executive_dashboard" servicegroup to show only one "exchangestatus" check not three. I set the warnning and critical to be 0:0 and 0:0. I want anything but "OK" state to alert me. Is my threshold setting correct? Please advise on this. Thanks</blockquote> <div> It looks like you don't have the dollar symbol at the end of your comma-separated values in field 4, and fields 2 and 3 should perhaps be 0 and 1 (indicating 'if any more services than 0 are down, raise a warning alert, and if any more services than 1 are down, raise a critical alert'. Perhaps you should have: check_command check_cluster_service!"exchangecheck"!0!1!$SERVICESTATEID:CUIT-EXCHANGE1.com:executive_exchange_check$,$SERVICESTATEID:CUIT-EXCHANGE2.com:executive_exchange_check$,$SERVICESTATEID:CUIT-EXCHANGE3.com:executive_exchange_check$ Regards, Guy. </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -- Cordially, Shadhin Rahman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list <a href="mailto:Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</a> <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users" target="_blank">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</a> ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null </blockquote></div>
