Hello all. I would like to get some help with the on-demand ability for host check. In the manual it says ,
"Regularly scheduled host checks are optional. If you set the check_interval option in your host definition to zero (0), Nagios will not perform checks of the hosts on a regular basis. It will, however, still perform on-demand checks of the host as needed for other parts of the monitoring logic. " I thought if the 'check_interval' parameter was not specified , the host check would become as on-demand check. However, I have a following definition on a certain host but the check interval is '5 min'. * I have the time unit as the defualt value. # host object definition define host { host_name elangen alias elangen address 192.168.1.154 parents localhost hostgroups linux-servers check_command check-host-alive use generic-host register 1 } # host template object definition define host { name generic-host check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 3 retry_interval 1 check_period 24x7 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 1 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 contacts nagiosadmin contact_groups admins notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r,f notifications_enabled 1 action_url /pnp4nagios/index.php/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=_HOST_ failure_prediction_enabled 1 register 0 } Do I have to set the actual 'check_interval' as 0 in order to use the on-demand ability?
