what if one craft a check-host-alive command with a sleep 60; check_icmp -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ??? <div>On 9/13/07, Patrick Morris <<a href="mailto:patrick.morris@hp.com"> patrick.morris@hp.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Thu, 13 Sep 2007, DeBattista, Joe wrote: > Hi, > I running nagios 2.5 (yes, I know it?s old) and I?m trying to figure out how to adjust the interval time when a host check notices a problem. I currently have my max_check_attempts in my host definition set to 10, and when that host goes down, it seems to only have a 3 second interval on its checking, so the 10 checks take only 30 seconds before switching from a SOFT state to HARD, and sending out a notification. I know there?s an retry_check_interval option for service definitions, but didn?t see an equivalent for the host definitions. I looked in nagios.cfg and didn?t see anything there. I?d like to adjust this so that it waits about 60 seconds between each check. Thanks. What you're looking to do isn't possible in Nagios 2.x. There is no way to adjust the host check interval. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
