Hi All, On a server with 400 service checks I have about 10 service checks that are timing out. My timeout value is set to 25 seconds. While I am trying to resolve the timeout issues, I am keen to find out how Nagios reacts when waiting for service check results.
What happens when Nagios is waiting for the result of a service check? Will Nagios continue to happily schedule service checks even when waiting for a result, or will it await the result of a service check before scheduling another? If it does schedule multiple service checks simultaneously, is there a limit to the maximum number of service checks that Nagios will check at a given time? My average check Latency for this Nagios server (as per "Performance Info") is 132.551 seconds. Would I be correct in assuming that this high latency value could be caused by these few rogue service checks that are timing out? Also, this is a distributed Nagios server which results to the Central Nagios server. I am getting quite a few "Stale Results" from this distributed result. Is it possible for a few rogue service checks which are timining out to throw out the remaining service checks from this distributed Nagios server causing stale results? The stale results being reported by the Central Nagios server are not exclusively the rogue timeout services but also regular checks that don't time out. Any insight into any of this would be much appreciated. Alex. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
