[Nagiosplug-devel] max_attempts, max_check_attempts & notify_recovery

[Terry]

Hi list,

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:

1. What's the difference between max_attempts and max_check_attempts?

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?

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?

3. Why will Nagios not start when I try to put "notify_recovery 0" into my service definition?

Can anyone help me, please?

Thanks...Terry
