We use Lilac as a configuration GUI, and as a sanity check I checked to make sure the service was only specified once in the configuration file.<div><br clear="all"><div>Sincerely,<br>Doug Eubanks<br><a href="mailto:admin@dougware.net" target="_blank">admin@dougware.net</a><br>

Of course you are correct, here's one of the services. According to the site log, it looks like Nagios is firing off three to four requests to the server, each time it's being checked. These log entries are all from one vhost log file, so it's not like Nagios is checking 4 sites, it's checking the same site 4 times at once.<div>

Nagios is checking services way too often. It's supposed to check once every 2 minutes, then failback to checking once every 1 minute on a failure.<div><br></div><div>I believe this is the relevant parts of the nagios.cfg file:<br>
</div></blockquote></div><div><br>Actually the relevant part for how often a check should be executed is in the service definition of the check. Mostly the service itself uses a template with the "use" option. In this case you have to check your templates.cfg file.<br>
</div></div><br>If you don't find it, please post the relevant service definition and the definition of the template being used by the service.<br>
