Hi all, I'm trying to configure a nagios server that was set up a long time ago, but has never worked correctly. I'm trying to understand all the variables that are involved in controlling the time before the first notify-by-email alert is sent for a regular service and one that I've configured as critical.
Is max_check_attempts the number of iterations it will perform the host/service check for each iteration of the check_interval period? In other words, if I set max_check_attempts to 5, and my interval_length is 60, does that mean it's 5 minutes before the first soft failure is generated? How does the notification_interval in the regular service definition compare with the notification_interval specified in one of the serviceescalation sections? In other words, if I set notification_interval to 10 minutes for regular services, and notification_interval to 5 minutes for escalated services, will I receive two notifications? I realize I could try this, but there seems to be so many other variables involved that I'd like to be sure my understanding is correct.
