[Nagios-users] service parameters

2012-03-01 Thread Marco Borsani
Hi all My actual environment has about 1000/1500 services. Usually I set the parameter normal_check_interval at 5 and the retry_check_interval at 1. One customer ask me to set both parameters to 1 (for about 100 services) , but I am afraid this could be to heavy for the server and the

Please don't hijack mailing list threads. Those of us who read the list sorted by threads get highly annoyed by it and respond far more curtly than we'd otherwise do. That's the first (and only) warning, so I'll be polite this time even though the behaviour grates on my very soul. On 03/01/2012

I see a lot of transient errors on services and hosts I'm monitoring. Hence finding ways to keep notifications from going out on situations that will resolve themselves are kind of an issue. I've played with how many failures in a row are needed to cause a notification, and have that set
