I shutdown an old web server, and immediately started receiving DOWN notifications from Naemon.
Now I have removed that host entirely from the Naemon config, and restarted the Naemon service. Yet I continue to receive DOWN notifications every hour.
How do I stop these?
The whole Naemon configuration is almost 2000 lines, so much too long to include here; the virtually default naemon.cfg is over 1000 lines itself.
Is there some parameter(s) causing a host to be saved in some cache? I can find the host listed in
/var/lib/naemon/status.dat
Answer
This thread and post solved the problem for me:
There is no “hidden cache” or parameter for it; the config 100% defines which hosts/services are checked.
The problem was that Naemon wasn’t shutting down properly for some unknown reason. I had been using systemctl restart naemon — and even systemctl stop naemon followed by systemctl start naemon across all of our Naemon nodes.
But just now when I checked with ps -ef | grep naemon after shutting down Naemon I saw that there were still process running. I killed them with kill -9 <parent pid>, and started Naemon again. No more DOWN notifications!
