Greetings,<br>
<br>
I have been asked to find out what the Latency entry on the Service
State Information page represents.  I am hoping that you can help me
understand where Nagios is getting this number from and how it is
calculated.  Also, is there a way or a plugin to do an immediate check
on Latency between the Nagios server and the client?  We have about
500+ locations that we are checking and want to make sure that they are
all within reasonable rta's.  <br>
<br>
Here is an example of the pulls that I am doing from a router:<br>
<br>
<table border="0">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Current Status:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">
      <div class="serviceOK">  OK    </div>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Status Information:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">SNMP OK - "Netopia 4652 v5.3.9r4"</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Current Attempt:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">1/5</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">State Type:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">HARD</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Last Check Type:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">ACTIVE</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Last Check Time:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">08-10-2005 07:54:00</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Status Data Age:</td>
      <td class="dataVal"> 0d 0h 12m 26s</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Next Scheduled Active Check:  </td>
      <td class="dataVal">08-10-2005 09:00:00</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Latency:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">120 seconds</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Check Duration:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">< 1 second</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Last State Change:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">07-28-2005 19:49:37</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Current State Duration:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">12d 12h 16m 49s</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Last Service Notification:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">N/A</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Current Notification Number:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">0</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Is This Service Flapping?</td>
      <td class="dataVal">
      <div class="notflapping">  NO  </div>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Percent State Change:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">0.00%</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">In Scheduled Downtime?</td>
      <td class="dataVal">
      <div class="downtimeINACTIVE">  NO  </div>
      </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="dataVar">Last Update:</td>
      <td class="dataVal">08-10-2005 08:06:01</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
<br>
Thanks in advance for any help understanding how the Latency is
determined, calculated, and what it represents.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
