<DIV>Hi list,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. What's the difference between max_attempts and max_check_attempts?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. I see both max_attempts and max_check_attempts mentioned many times in
the documentation, and there are 2 paragraphs which specifically define
max_check_attempts, but no such specific paragraphs for max_attempts.
Why could this be?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3. Why will Nagios not start when I try to put "notify_recovery 0" into my
service definition?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can anyone help me, please?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks...Terry</DIV>
