[Nagios-users] check services in the future
Hello, I have nagios 3.2.3. Sometimes, the nagios want to check my services (not all) in the future. For example: Next Scheduled Check: 04-09-2014 08:26:08 But check interval: Normal Check Interval = 0h 5m 0s Usually, this situation occurs in services, which in down more than a one day. Issue of this problem: - stop nagios; - remove files objects.cache and retention.dat - start nagios Date on the server is correct. And problem occur always in different services. OS: debian, Nagios was installed from source. Why? Thank you. -- Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.

[Nagios-users] Repeating event handler in hard service state....
Hi there list, As I understand service specific event handlers are triggered for every state change whenever a server is in a SOFT state, and once when a service enters a HARD state. Problem is that I have a service (an IPSEC tunnel) which is dependent on an outside source. If the outside party fails (whenever they do updates once a week) I actually kill the tunnel when attempting a restart. To solve this I would like to keep trying the restart. I could do this in a SOFT state by increasing the max check attempts to a higher number... but than I would never get a notification. Letting the service go to a HARD state (to get the notification) would limit the restart attempt to just the one event when the service enters the HARD state. I think there are 2 possibilities: - Keep the service in a SOFT state and send out a notification on attempt X. - Let the service go to a HARD state but keep on trying the restart. Is there anyway I could achieve this? Or am I completely missing something. Peter -- Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.

[Nagios-users] NRPE: Unable to read output; but works when run under strace ...
Hello all, given a fairly well-running monitoring setup with about 18k services I thought I had understood the basics.
