Thanks for your response. Howabout if i have normal check = 5mins and retry 
check = 2mins, and max check attempt = 4. means its (2min X 4) bigger than than 
than normal check.

I tried this conif and dont see any issues.

Whats your opinion on same.

Thanks in advance.
Nair.

Thanks Wolf for the response. Howwver i am curious to know whether we can set a 
retry check interval greater than normal check interval. I dont see any mention 
about the same in the docs.




Thanks 

Nair

Hi All







Is there any harm is setting retry check interval plus max check attempt 
greater than normal check interval.







Say like configs below:







Config#1







normal_check_interval=10min



retry_check_interval=5min



max_check_attempt=4







Config#2







normal_check_interval=5min



retry_check_interval=10min



max_check_attempt=3







Thank you in advance.







Regards



Nair

Nair,

As all good consultants would say, "It depends." 

There is a small network load for every test so setting shorter intervals 
increases the load. If you double the number of tests in an hour, you double 
the load.  So if you have a large number of tests on a large number of 
machines, doubling the frequency of the tests is probably a bad idea. What 
value do you think would accrue from increasing the frequency of tests? 




In my network, Nagios is set to start sending email notifications if the 
failure condition persists more than 3 test periods, i.e., the remote disk root 
partition is unreachable for longer than 30 minutes.  This particular test 
fails on my ftp server during large file transfers, with the message, plug-in 
timed out.  This has not turned out to be an actual problem, but is an artifact 
of flooding the network with file-transfer traffic.  In this case it is more 
sensible to let the file transfers go through than to know to an utmost 
certainty that the drive is not too full. 






YMMV



Wolf
