[Nagios-users] Host check retries

Title: Emanuel Massano

Hi all,

I'm having a strange nagios behavior in my host checks. The problem is the number of retries before a hard state is computed. I can't figure out what's the problem, so I'm asking for some help from you.

My nagios setup is 3.02, with flap detection disabled. I think the rest is a standard stand alone setup.

For my host configuration I don't want regularly scheduled host checks, so I have the check_interval set to 0. The configuration is below:

Host Name	Alias/Description	Address	Max. Check Attempts	Check Interval	Retry Interval	Host Check Command	Obsess Over	Enable Active Checks	Enable Passive Checks	Check Freshness	Freshness Threshold
gttest	gttest	x.x.x.x	15	0h 0m 0s	0h 1m 0s	check_instituicao	No	Yes	Yes	No	Auto-determined value

With this setup I would expect 15 retries for the host check like I did with version 2.x. But what I get is this:

Service Ok

[12-06-2008 10:11:11] SERVICE ALERT: gttest;ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 56.90 ms
Host Up

[12-06-2008 10:07:22] HOST ALERT: gttest;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 39.28 ms
Service Critical

[12-06-2008 10:06:21] SERVICE ALERT: gttest;ping;CRITICAL;HARD;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%
Host Down

[12-06-2008 10:06:14] HOST ALERT: gttest;DOWN;HARD;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%
Host Down

[12-06-2008 10:06:11] HOST ALERT: gttest;DOWN;SOFT;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%
Service Critical

[12-06-2008 10:05:21] SERVICE ALERT: gttest;ping;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

Nagios just tries 2 times, without the 1 minute interval from retry_interval variable, and gives HARD state. Of course I'm getting to much false positives on this small duration down states that I want to discard.

Thank you
Best regards
