Nagios loosing head (plugin timeout or other s trange behavior)

[Samba]

Hi,

I ran into a similar problem where some checks always ran fine, but others
seemed to have problems where they were just never being executed by Nagios
or just timing out.  I was seeing something like this in the logs:

"The check of service 'Ping' on host 'hostx' looks like it was orphaned
(results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check of the
service..." 

To fix this I set the "service_reaper_frequency=2" in nagios.cfg, it
defaults to 10.  

If that's not it make sure you don't have more than one nagios process
running.  I've heard of strange things happening when more than one Nagios
instance was running.

Give it a try and let me know,

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios loosing head (plugin timeout or other
strange behavior)


Hi all,

I use Nagios for quite some time now and I have a problem. Recently, we
migrate Nagios across our network, and we increase the number of hosts and
services monitored.

We have 18 hosts for a total of 42 services defined (most of theme shared
between hosts). Now, I found that :

- some plugins are working well when launched by hand but are falling in
timeout when launched by Nagios.
- some hosts or services (freshly added to the config) appear and disappear
from the web interface

What are the nagios limitations ? How can I improve our nagios configuration
? Are there some enhancement/bugfix for theses problems.

Thanks for help,

François.
