What could you possibly do in 5 seconds to correct any failure situation that you might discover monitoring at that frequency. IMHO, you interval sould never be shoerter than the minimum time to correct a problem. What could you possibly be interested in at 5 second intervals? -- Marc -----Original Message----- From: crsurf <crsurf@terra.com.br> To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Fri Oct 24 22:43:15 2003 Subject: [Nagios-users] service checks interval Hello I already read and re-read documentation about the parameters service_interleave_factor, normal_check_interval, freshness_treshould, status_update_interval, command_check_interval, sleep_time, inter_check_delay_method, service_reapear_frequency, freshness_check_interval and other timeouts parameters. I test with some values based on number of services and hosts and I test too using "s" (smart) in inter_delay_check_method and service_interleave_factor. But the interval in which a service was checked are some variant values betwen 10 and 20 seconds. I“m suposing a hipotetical situation that I have to monitoring critical services in a LAN enviroment and I using Nagios in a box with P4-1.8GHz processor with 128 MB of RAM, the minumum interval of fresh information in theory is the status_update_interval parameter, that have a minimum of 5 seconds, I“m correct or wrong about this? What values I have to use to guarantee this minimum interval of 5 seconds or at least 10 seconds,? This is possible? Sorry about my poor english, I“m trying to improve it and not sleep. :) [ ] Cristiano Costa ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
