[Nagiosplug-devel] max_attempts, max_check_attempts & notify_recovery

[Terry Speirs]

Hi list

 

Sorry if the my last post didn't come through correctly.



I've read the Nagios 2.0 documentation PDF, and I can't understand
 some things about max_attempts, max_check_attempts, and notify_recovery.
  My questions are:

 

1. What's the difference between max_attempts and max_check_attempts?

 

2. I see both max_attempts and max_check_attempts mentioned many
 times in the documentation, and there are 2 paragraphs which specificall
y define max_check_attempts, but no such specific paragraphs for
 max_attempts.  Why could this be?

 

3. I see max_attempts and notify_recovery specified in the check_log
 plugin (and it's newer versions - check_log2 and check_log3). 
 Why will Nagios not start when I try to put "max_attempts 1" into
 my service definition?

 

3. Why will Nagios not start when I try to put "notify_recovery
 0" into my service definition?

 

Can anyone help me, please?

 

Thanks.
