Hosts are not checked at regular intervals by default (check_interval = 0) - hosts are checked whenever a service assigned to that host return a non-OK status. If a host is then found to be down it uses the retry interval It is possible to set a check interval on hosts to force regular checking. These options are all available on the host configuration page and are set on a per host basis   Thanks, Will   From: opsview-users-boun...@lists.opsview.org [mailto:opsview-users-boun...@lists.opsview.org] On Behalf Of Ton Voon Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 2:46 PM To: Opsview Users Subject: Re: [opsview-users] I'm trying to understand in Opsview whatdefault host check intervals are.     On 24 Aug 2009, at 19:02, James Whittington wrote: I’m trying to understand in Opsview what default host check intervals are. We run a reverse ssh distributed Opsview setup and we saw something that confused us a bit.   One of my co-workers was trying to test a notification on a host he had set up. We could get the service check to go critical and the host went critical but the host stayed in a soft state and did not trigger a host down alert.   I’m pretty sure the hosts are inheriting settings from the host-global template but I was confused about the check interval being set to 0. Here is the template I think is being used define host{         name                            host-global         event_handler_enabled           0       ; Host event handler is enabled         flap_detection_enabled          1       ; Flap detection is enabled         process_perf_data               1       ; Process performance data         retain_status_information       1       ; Retain status information across program restarts         retain_nonstatus_information    1       ; Retain non-status information across program restarts         max_check_attempts              2         obsess_over_host                0         check_freshness                 0         passive_checks_enabled          1         check_interval                  0       ; For the moment, set check_interval to 0 so hosts only checked on demand, like Nagios 2         contact_groups                  emptydefit         register                        0       ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION IT'S JUST A TEMPLATE! }   Does each soft state service check in a “Non-Okay” state generate a host check attempt?   It pretty much would have to otherwise you would never see a host down notification.   We set check_interval for hosts to 0, which means there are no regular host checks. Host checks will be on-demand, ie when a service state change occurs.   What state does the slave say the host is in? How many services are on this host? Is this recreateable?   Ton     _______________________________________________ Opsview-users mailing list Opsview-users@lists.opsview.org http://lists.opsview.org/lists/listinfo/opsview-users   Duncs   --  Duncan Ferguson Senior Developer Opsera Limited | Unit 69 Suttons Business Park Reading | Berkshire | RG6 1AZ | UK Phone:   +44 (0) 845 057 7887 Mobile:   +44 (0) 7968 148 748 Skype:   duncan_j_ferguson     Email:   duncan.fergu...@opsera.com www.opsera.com Opsera Limited is registered in the UK under Company Number 5396532.
