[Nagios-users] NRPE allowed_hosts directive
Hello, I am using NRPE version 2.7 and want to configured the allowed_hosts directive so that it can take a network address in the form network_address/netmask. However, it doesn't seem to support this, so I tried putting the IP addresses of all the hosts in the network. However, when I assign this variable to all the IP addresses (which is very long), I get this error: Feb 29 10:49:30 cn004 nrpe[22540]: No variable value specified in config file '/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg' - Line 65 Feb 29 10:49:30 cn004 nrpe[22540]: Config file '/etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg' contained errors, aborting... When I truncate a number of IP addresses, it works fine. Do you know if the newer version of NRPE resolves this issue? Namely, can it accept network addresses (network_address/netmask) and/or take a long list of IP addresses? The former will be more convenient.

[Nagios-users] Nagios check frequency
Hello Nagios users, I would like Nagios to increase the check frequency once the service is in a critical state. For example, if a check has a frequency of every 60 minutes, once it has reached a critical state, I want the check frequency to run at, say, every 10 minutes until the check has reached an OK state. I have set the max_check_attempts to three, and wanted to know if this is the case when nrpe times out. Does it check nrpe checks 3 times even if it times out on the first attempt?

Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios check frequency
Hi Andreas, Thanks for the reply. The retry_interval will retry to ensure the service is actually down, which is the case here. This is set to three in my configuration. However, once it exceeds retry_interval and the service is deemed as not-OK, it is then that I want it to increase the check frequency. I couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Timeouts doesn't matter in the slightest for Nagios' scheduling logic though, so it will run the check 3 times if that's what you've configured. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 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. -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
