Nagios stopped checking most of my services!

[Seth Simmons]

Funny you mention this; I just had the same problem.

 

I'm looking at my hosts and of 85 of them, 82 was last checked about
11pm Sunday and the next scheduled check is 11pm Monday (about 90 min
from now).

I also have a number of services that are not scheduled to be checked
again until 11pm.  Most host and service checks are 5 min; some are
15/60 min.

 

I'm not using NagioSQL.

 

For example, here is one of my free space checks that should run every
15 min.

 

Current Status:   OK   (for 31d 8h 26m 23s) 

Status Information:DISK OK - free space: / 1532 MB (80% inode=95%): 

Performance Data:/=379MB;1813;1914;0;2015 

Current Attempt:1/3  (HARD state)

Last Check Time:11-01-2009 22:52:06

Check Type:ACTIVE 

Check Latency / Duration:0.147 / 0.057 seconds 

Next Scheduled Check:  11-02-2009 23:00:00

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios stopped checking most of my services!

 

I had nagios working great.  Checking 6 hosts and about 85 services.
Then suddenly, all services on all hosts except one stopped checking.
The next scheduled check is about 24 hours from the last check.  I had
been checking every 5 minutes. 

Restarting nagios didn't help.    I am using a gui NagioSQL to edit my
configuration files so I suspect it did something to me but I have no
clue where to look except where I have already looked.

What can cause nagios to just stop checking everything like that or to
randomly switch to every 24 hours rather than the configured every 5
minutes?

I am having to manually do force checks to get it to check.

Here are some things I have checked...

Hosts  check_interval is 5, retry_interval is 1
Services  check_interval is 10, retry_interval is 2

So where could Nagios be getting the idea that it is suppose to be every
24 hours?
