Hello,
i am using Nagios 1.2 for monitoring in my network. I have about 90 hosts and
130 services in the nagios configuration. The problem, i am confrontatet now is
following. Per default each host will be checkes for availibility with
check_host_alive plugin. The check occures each 2 minutes and if the state of
this service is changed from OK to CRITICAL or WARNING, then "retry check
interval" for this service should check it 3 times with interval of 1 min.
befor sending notifications. That is defined ( at the host group level ) for
all hosts in my monitored environment:
define service {
use generic-service
hostgroup_name firewalls,mail-server,routers,switchs,win-server,WLAN
service_description PING
contact_groups nagios
check_period 24x7
notification_interval 120
notification_options w,u,c,r
notification_period 24x7
check_command check-host-alive
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 2
retry_check_interval 1
# comment: Check hosts availability
}
My problem-host X1_voicegate is defined in the group routers:
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name routers
alias routers
contact_groups router-admins
members X1_ras,X1_voicegate,rou2,rou3,rou-internet,rou-internet2 #
comment Router host-group
}
But i can not understand why, the particular host X1_voicegate "retry check
interval" works with check delay of only 3 seconds??? This information i can
see in Nagios event log:
[09-06-2004 13:46:12] HOST ALERT: X1_voicegate;DOWN;HARD;3;PING CRITICAL -
Host Unreachable (10.4.11.13)
[09-06-2004 13:46:09] HOST ALERT: X1_voicegate;DOWN;SOFT;2;PING CRITICAL - Host
Unreachable (10.4.11.13)
[09-06-2004 13:46:06] HOST ALERT: X1_voicegate;DOWN;SOFT;1;PING CRITICAL - Host
Unreachable (10.4.11.13)
It is a bug in nagios or there is another invisible configuration posibilities
in nagios?
Thanks for you ideas
Alex
