Does anyone have any idea how to correct this? Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: Josh Van As Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 10:43 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Checks don't wait the desired 5 minutes before becoming critical and paging I currently have my hosts / services setup to check every 60 seconds and to retry 5 times. By my understanding, it should take 5 minutes for me to be informed of a failed host. Is that correct? Below is an example of what is happening: I rebooted a host (quake). Nagios does retry 5 times as expected before paging. However, the retry interval ranges from 2 to 10 seconds, not 60. What can I do to force this back to 60 seconds?
