Is it possible to auto acknowledge problems (specific offline hosts)?

@mgutt

But it should be directly visible if they have the state DOWN

Thats what it is doing. What are you missing?

Nothing. I only wanted to be clear that this is the desired state and I don’t want to translate it through a rule to always UP.

@mike1098

@mgutt

or something like “Ignore problems of hosts …”?

Can you explain in detail what you expect? What do you want to “ignore”

CheckMK should not treat a DOWN host as a problem. Not sure how to explain it different ^^

Or maybe the workflow as an example:

Step 1: Check if there are any unhandled problems

Step 2: Check problems, solve them or acknowledge them with a comment

@mike1098

Its the standard Nagios behavior. First its an soft alert and after reaching max check attempts it change to a hard state. A hard state trigger a notification.

Yes, but the soft state already triggers an unhandled problem, which I think is incorrect.

@mike1098

Yes, you can do this with an alert handler and livestatus.

Hmm… So I need to create a BASH script which sends a request to the CheckMK API? Wouldn’t be my favorite solution as not doable by all team members.
