Bunch of strange issues

[Drew Weaver]

I'm pretty sure there may be something 'worse' going on than previously thought.

If I view the 'configuration' section of the nagios web interface

It shows me 2x for each host and 2x for each service, if I am on the tactical overview and I keep refreshing over and over, about 50% of the time I see:

# Active Host / Service Checks:
2 / 9

The other 50% of the time I see:

# Active Host / Service Checks:
8 / 38

The 8/38 is correct.

If I run:

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -s /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

to start running Nagios with your current config files.

Host inter-check delay:          75.00 sec
Max host check spread:           30 min
First scheduled check:           Wed Jun 18 13:47:05 2008
Last scheduled check:            Wed Jun 18 13:55:50 2008


SERVICE SCHEDULING INFORMATION
-------------------------------
Total services:                     38
Total scheduled services:           38
Service inter-check delay method:   SMART
Average service check interval:     600.00 sec
Inter-check delay:                  15.79 sec
Interleave factor method:           SMART
Average services per host:          4.75
Service interleave factor:          5
Max service check spread:           30 min
First scheduled check:              Wed Jun 18 13:49:11 2008
Last scheduled check:               Wed Jun 18 13:59:11 2008

It shows my 8 hosts and 38 services.

Any idea what in the world is going on?

All of my hosts/services and contacts are defined in 'included files'. Is this not ok?

Yes, I have some lines like that in my nagios.log - (for me) they mean that some passive checks are getting to nagios.cmd pipe, but they're not defined as a service nor host, whatsoever in nagios object definitions. Check your config again.

Hi there, I finally got my installation of Nagios finished (hurray)

I'm having some fairly (what I would consider strange) issues with it however and I am wondering if anyone else has run into these particular problems:

[1213806661] Warning: The check of service 'SSH on Server B' on host 'ServerB' looks like it was orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check of the service...
[1213806661] Warning: The check of service 'MySQL Database on Server A' on host 'ServerA' looks like it was orphaned (results never came back).  I'm scheduling an immediate check of the service...
[1213806667] Warning: Check result queue contained results for service 'MySQL Database on ServerA' on host 'ServerA', but the service could not be found!  Perhaps you forgot to define the service in your config files?
[1213806787] Warning: Check result queue contained results for host 'ServerC', but the host could not be found!  Perhaps you forgot to define the host in your config files?
[1213806787] Warning: Check result queue contained results for host 'ServerD', but the host could not be found!  Perhaps you forgot to define the host in your config files?
[1213806787] Warning: Check result queue contained results for host 'ServerE', but the host could not be found!  Perhaps you forgot to define the host in your config files?

All of the services/hosts it mentions are listed in both the configuration files and in the Nagios web interface.

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks,
-Drew
