If you set interval_length=10 in nagios.cfg and a normal_check_interval=36 then the check interval would be 360 seconds. The answer is that you can in fact do what you have asked but more than likely not in the manner in which you wish to do so. You could, in theory, set the interval_length to 1 and then all check intervals throughout nagios would be in seconds. What you cannot do is use different measurements of time for different intervals. You have a definition of the units used and all intervals throughout are multiples of that unit.</tt> <tt>For the record </tt>top posting after having been responded to in a proper manner makes it very hard to follow and harder to answer. <tt>> On Dec 12, 2007 5:33 PM, Marc Powell <marc@ena.com> wrote:</tt> <tt>> > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: nagios-users-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net [</tt><a href="mailto:nagios-users-"><tt>mailto:nagios-users-</tt></a><tt> > > bounces@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Alex Dehaini > > Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 11:20 AM > > To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: [Nagios-users] specify normal_check_interval in seconds > > > > Hi guys, > > > > Can I specify 'normal_check_interval' in seconds? </tt> <tt>> In nagios.cfg -- > > # INTERVAL LENGTH > # This is the seconds per unit interval as used in the > # host/contact/service configuration files.
