disable checks for a particular service such as PING using the
Service Information view (command Disable checks of this service ), but
you enable checks for all services using the
Nagios Info view
(command
Start executing service checks ). The particular service
( PING ) is not checked, because disabling overrides enabling.
Example: Enabling/Disabling Notifications
If you click the Disabled button next to Notifications in the Tactical Overview view
(see
Tactical Overview , page 2-21), which indicates that notifications are
currently disabled, the
External Command Interface view appears with the
message
You are requesting to enable notifications . There is no additional command
information to enter – just click the
Commit button.
Example: Adding a New Comment
If you click the Add a new host ( service ) comment link in the Comments view (see
Comments , page 2-36), the External Command Interface view appears with the
message
You are requesting to add a host ( service ) comment . Enter a host and
service name, your name, and your comment. The
Persistent check box is not
used
. (PCC comments are always persistent: they are not deleted when the
Control Center shuts down.) Click
Commit to execute the command.
Example: Acknowledging a Problem
You can use the Acknowledge this host / service problem command to let others
know you have noticed a problem and are working on it. This command is
available in the
Host / Service Commands box of the Host / Service Information view
whenever a host or service has a problem (see
Host Information , page 2-103,
and
Service Information , page 2-106). You can remove a problem acknowl-
edgement with the command
Remove problem acknowledgement .
After you acknowledge a problem, problem notification for that host/service is
disabled until it recovers. Contacts for the host/service receive notification of
your acknowledgement (unless you turn off the
Send Notification checkbox in
the
External Command Interface view when acknowledging).
