For example: You have hosts A..Z configured with ten services on each host. Your service_interleave_factor is set to "s" and the bin/nagios -s etc/nagios.cfg is giving a max_concurrent_check value of 5. Nagios checks 5 services on each host. You restart or reload Nagios, The scheduling queue reschedules the 5 services that already have been checked before the reload instead of continuing where it last ended. I have noticed this causing stale service checks because the scheduling queue does not retain state between restarts or reloads. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a setting(s) that I have missed in the nagios.cfg? Suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, John </BODY> </HTML>
