I have templates that define max_check_attempts as 3 and others as 5 with
retry_check_interval as 1 (my interval_length is 60).
But I never see any indication that the failures are retried at all before
I receive a notification.
I get a service notification on the first CRITICAL failure which
becomes immediately HARD.
I set:
log_service_retries=1
log_host_retries=1
But I don't get any logging about any retries.
How can I troubleshoot why my max_check_attempts doesn't work?
I want it to not do any notification on first failure. I want it to retry
the failed service in approximately one minute. And only then notify if it
fails again.
This is on Nagios 2.8.
Here is the template I am using:
define service{
name service-template ; The 'name' of
this service template, referenced in other service definitions
active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks are
enabled
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are
enabled/accepted
parallelize_check 1 ; Active service checks should
be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance problems)
obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess over this
service (if necessary)
check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT check
service 'freshness'
notifications_enabled 1 ; Service notifications are
enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler is
enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information
across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information
across program restarts
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 3
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups noc-admins
notification_interval 0 ; disable recurring
notifications
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,u,c,r
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION
- ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
