[Nagios-users] one shot check at specific time of day
Hi people,
I have problems defining a check so that it only runs once each day (at a
specified time).
Inspired by
http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg24221.html I
tried
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name tp_backupcheck
alias mornin checks
day 1 - -1 08:00-08:15
}
as well as
define timeperiod {
timeperiod_name tp_backupcheck
alias mornin checks
monday 08:00-08:15
tuesday 08:00-08:15
wednesday 08:00-08:15
thursday08:00-08:15
friday 08:00-08:15
saturday08:00-08:15
sunday 08:00-08:15
}
combined with
define service {
use normal
host_name bla01
service_description bla backup
check_command check_bla_backup
max_check_attempts 1
check_interval 30
check_periodtp_backupcheck
...
}
Now it schedules the check each day for 07:58 or 07:59 or 07:59:58 or alike and
obviously it is never run.
How do I do this properly?
Thanks
Marki

That's really odd. I wonder if we're randomizing unduly when scheduling
checks.
How do I do this properly?
First thought; Set the check_interval to less than the checking window.
Assuming you're using minutes (like most people), the check_interval
should probably be something like 10, so it fits once but not twice
within the scheduled window.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.

Sidenote: day 1 - -1 doesn't work at all. If used today, it sets next scheduled time to April 1.

If setting the check_period doesn't work out and you can tolerate the check being run more often, you can set the notification_period to a smaller time period instead. The state shown in the web interface will be more up-to-date, which may be different from the last notification sent out. For example, I get notified of expiring SSL certificates once per day, starting a month before they actually expire. If I replace an expiring certificate, the web interface will let me know if the replacement was successful without having to wait until tomorrow to find out. -- -Chris Nothing in this message is intended to make or accept an offer or to form a contract, except that an attachment that is an image of a contract bearing the signature of an officer of our company may be or become a contract.
