Nagios is ignoring the retry_interval setting

[Andrew Thompson]

Hi Georgio,

The whole test cfg I am using to try troubleshoot this can be found at:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/895609/test.cfg

This is a direct copy of my main servers config but with the rest of the servers and some templates for other server checks taken out



Kind Regards
Andrew

Subject: Nagios is ignoring the retry_interval setting

Hi,

My nagios box has decided to stop listening to the retry_interval entry in my templates.

My server template reads:

define host{
     name                       host-server
     check_period              server_24x7
     check_interval            1
     retry_interval            3
     max_check_attempts        3
     notification_period       server_24x7
     notification_interval      3
     notification_options      d,r
     notifications_enabled      1
     contact_groups            servers email, servers sms
     event_handler_enabled      1
     process_perf_data         1
     retain_status_information    1
     retain_nonstatus_information 1
     passive_checks_enabled          0
     obsess_over_host          0
     check_freshness          0
     flap_detection_enabled          0
     failure_prediction_enabled   0
     }

Now this is what happens:


*         Server goes down at 1pm.

*         I check the next scheduled check and it clearly states 1.03pm

*         But at 1.01pm it checks again and then spits out an email and text message saying the server is down.

Completely ignoring the retry_interval setting!!!

Id expect from the above:


*         1pm server goes down

*         1.03pm check 2 is done

*         1.06pm check 3 is done and determined hard state.

*         At 1.06pm the notification should be sent out.

Why is this, is something in my config wrong?

Ubuntu 12.04 desktop and Nagios 3.4.1

Thanks
