Hi,
we have Nagios running nice with email/sms notifications, but i cannot get NRPE
to trigger notifications. It collects information from remote server, show
alerts in Nagios Event Log:

SERVICE ALERT: irc;Load;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - load average: 1.04, 0.92,
0.70

but no SERVICE NOTIFICATIONs (that speaker icon). Other plugins notifications
works ok on the same remote server.
Nagios Service Alerts goes normal path: SOFT;1 , SOFT;2 , SOFT;3 , HARD;4 , but
nothing after that.

Also from Nagios server shell everything looks ok:
# check_nrpe -H irc.xxxxxx.fi -c check_load
CRITICAL - load average: 1.02, 0.99,
0.83|load1=1.020000;1.000000;1.000000;0.000000
load5=0.990000;1.000000;1.000000;0.000000
load15=0.830000;1.000000;1.000000;0.000000

here is config:

define command{
        command_name    check_nrpe
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
        }


define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       irc
        service_description             Load
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              4
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  admins
        notification_interval           960
        notification_period             24x7
        check_command                   check_nrpe!check_load
        }


All ideas are welcome
Best Regards
