<div dir="ltr">I would like to add a check, but it would need to run only a few times a day. I would like to know the best way to do it. I've thought about 2 ways to do it : - a big 24x7 timperiod associated with a 3-4 hours check_interval value. I don't know how nagios react to big check_interval values. I've only added checks with interval of 1 to 30 minutes so far. - a/several very shorts timeperiods (like 5 minutes) with a check interval of 2-3 minutes ? I could get 2 checks in a row and I fear of missing a check if the nagios server is busy. - or add nsca daemon on the nagios server and schedule the check via a cron job. I don't like this idea which would need me to dig new holes in our firewalls. I'd like to stay with the nrpe only setup. Any idea ? -- Thomas Leveille </div>
