you could try changing the host_inter_check_delay_method=n variable in nagios.cfg and see how it affects the checks. i'd keep an eye on performance and local system resources too. last thing you want is nagios crashing too. :-)<BR><BR>-- <BR>Mat W. - <A href="http://www.techadre.com/">http://www.techadre.com</A><BR><BR><BR> <BR>

<DIV>Yes , there is a lot of checks going on. There are like 750 hosts with a minimum of about 6 to 7 services checks.</DIV>
<DIV>Could this be because SERVICE INTER-CHECK DELAY METHOD & HOST INTER-CHECK DELAY METHOD are set to smart calculation ?<BR><BR></DIV>

<DIV>As per above the host is scheduled to check every 1 min. The parameter in use is "check_interval =1 " also "retry_interval=1"</DIV>
<DIV>Then when the host went down the " View alert history for this host" at the left corner says :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Why is it not checking every minutes when "retry_interval=1" ? ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Because of this notification is getting delayed , i want the notification to be sent 3 min after the host is down.</DIV>
