AW: Passive checks with freshness

[Verstege, Bernhard]

Hi,

we have a similar problem with our distribued monitors.
They send every minute an "I am alive" to the master, which
should notify us if this check does not arrive for 5 minutes.
But the notifcation is send out *hours* later.
On the other side we are notified more than once if
we restart a distributed monitor.
We dont't know, whats going on there....
Perhaps we have to look into the source code.

Gruss
Bernhard

Betreff: [Nagios-users] Passive checks with freshness


Is there no-one to awnser my question,

I seem to have a problem with freshness check, passive checks are 
submitted by hosts, on the server i difined the max_check_attempts=3
When the nagios-server isn't receiving data, the freshness check will 
anounce that there are no incoming passive check for a particular service.
I want nagios to send a notification immediately when the freshness 
check appears but the max_check_attempts set for passive check also concern
the times freshness checks needs to pass when entering from a soft to 
hard state.
Because I set the freshness_threshold to 10 minutes I receive a 
notification after 40 minutes.

Is there a way to resolve this, maybe there is way to let hosts check a 
service 3 times (if in error) before sending the data with nsca to nagios.
This way I can set the max_check_attempts on the server to 1 so if 
freshness_check passes for the first time, ore when an (passive)error 
occurs (the remote host already checked the service 3 times) the server 
will notify immediately on status critical..

Thanks in advance.
