Of course you are correct, here's one of the services. Â According to the site log, it looks like Nagios is firing off three to four requests to the server, each time it's being checked. Â These log entries are all from one vhost log file, so it's not like Nagios is checking 4 sites, it's checking the same site 4 times at once.<div>

Nagios is checking services way too often. Â It's supposed to check once every 2 minutes, then failback to checking once every 1 minute on a failure.<div><br></div><div>I believe this is the relevant parts of the nagios.cfg file:<br>
</div></blockquote></div><div><br>Actually the relevant part for how often a check should be executed is in the service definition of the check. Mostly the service itself uses a template with the "use" option. In this case you have to check your templates.cfg file.<br>
</div></div><br>If you don't find it, please post the relevant service definition and the definition of the template being used by the service.<br>
