<html><head><style type="text/css"></style></head><body><div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><DIV>Hey,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have a bunch of services on a bunch of hosts, and they overlap. Some services I check every 5 minutes, some I check every 60 minutes. I would like the ones which are 60 minutes to be spaced out by 60/7 minutes in the initial schedule. But they arent, they are spaced out the same delay that the 5 minute ones are (several seconds). If I change this setting in nagios.cfg:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2> <P>service_inter_check_delay_method=s</P> <P> </P> <P>Then all services have that delay, and some dont get scheduled for hours.</P> <P> </P> <P>Here is an example of my configs (the first check is every 5 minutes, the second is every hour, for the same app on the same servers):</P> <P> </P> <P>define service{<BR> use prodService<BR> normal_check_interval 5<BR> max_check_attempts 2<BR> service_description wiki productionShallow<BR> check_command check_fast_http! wiki webService=nagiosShallow </P> <P> contact_groups wikiContacts<BR>}<BR>define service{<BR> use prodService<BR> normal_check_interval 60<BR> max_check_attempts 2<BR> service_description wiki productionComplete<BR> check_command check_fast_http! wiki webService=nagiosComplete<BR> contact_groups wikiContacts<BR>}<BR>define servicegroup{<BR> servicegroup_name wiki production<BR> alias wiki production<BR> members server1,wiki productionShallow,server2,wiki productionShallow,server3,wiki productionShallow,server4,wiki productionShallow,server5,wiki productionShallow,server6,wiki productionShallow,server7,wiki productionShallow,server1,wiki productionComplete,server2,wiki productionComplete,server3,wiki productionComplete,server4,wiki productionComplete,server5,wiki productionComplete,server6,wiki productionComplete,server7,wiki productionComplete <BR>}<BR></P> <P>I know eventually chaos will ensue, and the complete ones will be randomly distributed throughout the hour. But I would like it to startout that way. If I could add service_inter_check_delay_method to a service definition that would do the trick, but it gives an error when I try that. Any way to do this?</P> <P> </P> <P>Thanks,</P> <P>Chris</P></FONT></DIV></div><br> </body></html>
