Hi All, This is just a me too post to hopefully help others down the road! I have inherited maintenance of a medium-sized Nagios installation. We currently have 649 hosts and 5415 services. Our setup works nicely, with one exception: Nagios falls behind on host/service checks. Our usual

[Nagios-users] regularly schedule host checks?

Hi All, I'm wondering if there is any consensus from Nagios users regarding scheduled host checks. In general is it better to have Nagios schedule host checks or is it better to use the old logic i.e. only run the host check if a service check fails. How do you turn off the scheduled host

Dennis, Your almost there, you need to set your vbs script to output an exit code of 0-4 according to the nagios plug in documentation (http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#PLUGOUTPUT) . Then setup the nsclient to run your script as a plug in check. To do that you will

[Nagios-users] weirdness in the scheduling of host checks

Greetings All, Is anyone else seeing weird things in the scheduling of checks? I don't have a good sense of what is wrong but, it's definitely not the way it was under Nagios 1.0 (or the way it should be). I've been watching the scheduling queue on our Nagios 3 box for a week or so, here's a
