Check_MK Werk 2843: Hanging notification scripts could prevent all other notifications

ID: 2843 Title: Hanging notification scripts could prevent all other notifications Component: Notifications Level: 2 Class: Bug Fix Version: 1.2.7i4 Notification scripts are assumed to finish within short time like a couple of seconds. If a notification script takes longer or is hanging for ever, it prevent Check_MK from sending out other notifications. So one hanging notification could prevent all others. This has been fixed by introducing a global notification plugin timeout. All notification plugins which take more than 60 seconds will be killed so that other notifications can be done again. If you need a different timeout, you can configure it using the global setting "Notification plugin timeout".
