<div class="WordSection1">I am currently running Nagios 3.3.1 on
Ubuntu 10.04 and everything is working great. I am monitoring
30 Windows servers with NSClient++, and that is working as
well. Is it possible to receive a notification for a specific
service that is in the “up” position? In other words, I would
like to get a notification every 4 hours, confirming that a
service is actually running. If it stops on Friday evening, I
do not want to wait until Monday morning to find out it is not
running. I would personally rather receive a message every four
hours. Notifications are currently set up and working
flawlessly, so I just need to know what I need to change in the
config files to get this to work. Any help is appreciated.<o:p></o:p></div>

Not entirely sure what you're trying to solve here? Generally it is
good if you can get to a place where you trust your monitoring
system. It should be telling you if something has broken, but if
something continues to run well, the monitoring system should shut
up and not bother you.<br>
<br>
If it stops on Friday evening, you should get an email immediately
(or as soon as Nagios notices it...) If by "it stops" you mean
"Nagios stops" then that's a separate problem - I have a secondary
system that ONLY monitors my primary Nagios infrastructure. If the
primary system fails, the secondary system emails me - well, pages
me, my secondary, all of ProdOps, etc.<br>
<br>
TL;DR: No easy way to have an OK service automatically email.
Nagios makes noise when things are broken, not when they're working.<br>
