I'm trying to understand in Opsview what default host check intervals
are.
We run a reverse ssh distributed Opsview setup and we saw something that
confused us a bit.
One of my co-workers was trying to test a notification on a host he had
set up.
We could get the service check to go critical and the host went critical
but the host stayed in a soft state and did not trigger a host down
alert.
I'm pretty sure the hosts are inheriting settings from the host-global
template but I was confused about the check interval being set to 0.
Here is the template I think is being used
define host{
name host-global
event_handler_enabled 0 ; Host 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
max_check_attempts 2
obsess_over_host 0
check_freshness 0
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_interval 0 ; For the moment, set
check_interval to 0 so hosts only checked on demand, like Nagios 2
contact_groups empty
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS
DEFINITION IT'S JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
Does each soft state service check in a "Non-Okay" state generate a host
check attempt?
It pretty much would have to otherwise you would never see a host down
notification.
