Hi all, I've been scratching my head on this one for a couple days. I have a service defined that can only run once an hour. If it runs much more often than that, the check program (which I didn't write) often steps on its own feet and returns a critical failure. The service runs via NRPE if that matters...
Anyway, I have the normal_check_interval set to 60, and max_check_attempts set to 1. So it should run once an hour, and only once even if it fails. But it runs every 10 minutes instead! Here is some of my config: define service { use active-service host_name cal-map1 service_description active-remote-spatialsync check_command check_remote_spatialsync contact_groups xxxxxxxx normal_check_interval 60 max_check_attempts 1 } define command { command_name check_remote_spatialsync command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -n -c check_spatialsync } [r...@nagios3 etc]# ssh cal-map1 [r...@cal-map1 ~]# grep check_spatialsync /usr/local/nagios/etc/nrpe.cfg command[check_spatialsync]=/space/kaapps/sbin/probeSpatialSync Here is the script (korn-shell wrapper) that runs: [r...@cal-map1 ~]# cat /space/kaapps/sbin/probeSpatialSync #!/bin/ksh date >>/usr/tmp/spatialsync.runtimes.log HERE=$(dirname $0) JAR_DIR=$(cd $HERE/../lib;pwd) MONITOR_JAR=$JAR_DIR/monitor.jar PROBE_CLS=com.kelman.monitor.SpatialSyncTester JAVA_PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5/bin:/apps/platform/jdk1.5/bin PATH=$JAVA_PATH:$PATH exec java -cp $MONITOR_JAR $PROBE_CLS $1 .......... I've checked, and the interval_length is set to 60 like I intended it to be: [r...@nagios3 etc]# grep interval_length nagios.cfg interval_length=60 The wrapper that runs on the remote machine is logging the output of the date command and appending it to a simple log file so I can tell for sure how often it's being run -- every 10 minutes, like clockwork! How come 10 minutes and not 60?? My head is hurting from all the scratching. I suspect it's something stupid and tiny that I've missed, but would appreciate your help, even if it just points to some arcane area of the documentation.
