I've noticed a sensible difference in the hosts displayed in the service detail' Nagios interface for last check. In some host the hour is consistent with the actual one, but in others I observe a differences of one or more hours. This can be due to some Nagios cache?

Sounds like when you updated you compiled with a different user and/or group than your older version. There are at least a couple ways to fix this. One would be to recompile Nagios to use a group your webserver is a member of. Another would be to set the "rw" directory setgid www-data so new files created there have that as their group. For that to work, the nagios user would also need to be a member of www-data. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 17:37:51 +0000 From: "Morris, Patrick" <<A href="mailto:patrick.morris@hp.com" ymailto="mailto:patrick.morris@hp.com">patrick.morris@hp.com</A>> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Last check displayed To: "<A href="mailto:dbareiro@gmx.net" ymailto="mailto:dbareiro@gmx.net">dbareiro@gmx.net</A>" <<A href="mailto:dbareiro@gmx.net" ymailto="mailto:dbareiro@gmx.n et">dbareiro@gmx.net</A>>, "<A href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net" ymailto="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</A>" <<A href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net" ymailto="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</A>> Message-ID: <<A href="mailto:93C487A372B3774CAEAA15D524CCF3D122883BBC2B@G1W0485.americas.hpqcorp.net" ymailto="mailto:93C487A372B3774CAEAA15D524CCF3D122883BBC2B@G1W0485.americas.hpqcorp.net">93C487A372B3774CAEAA15D524CCF3D122883BBC2B@G1W0485.americas.hpqcorp.net</A>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > I've noticed a sensible difference in the hosts displayed in the > service detail' Nagios interface for last check.

You probably just have services scheduled in a way that some don't run as often as others. Without more information, it's impossible to say why you're seeing what you're seeing. ------------------------------ Message: 5 Date: Sun, 18 May 2008 16:15:09 -0300 From: "Rodrigo Pacheco" <<A href="mailto:fagundes.pacheco@gmail.com" ymailto="mailto:fagundes.pacheco@gmail.com">fagundes.pacheco@gmail.com</A>> Subject: [Nagios-users] problemas with check_icmp To: <A href="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net" ymailto="mailto:nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net">nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net</A> Message-ID: <<A href="mailto:924eed8b0805181215g16d17f2fr7c6d3b4188b72e3c@mail.gmail.com" ymailto="ma ilto:924eed8b0805181215g16d17f2fr7c6d3b4188b72e3c@mail.gmail.com">924eed8b0805181215g16d17f2fr7c6d3b4188b72e3c@mail.gmail.com</A>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear, I'm having some problems with my Nagios 3.0 they are: the plugin check_icmp to use the console in hand does not return the same value when it is executed by Nagios (I am using the same syntax and host). How could solve this? Monitoring the local network realized that the values informed by the front end of Nagios is a big difference. When I check_ping tests with the same values are returned by both. cheers, Rodrigo -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This <A href="http://sf.net/" target=_blank>SF.net</A> email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
