Re: check_http is caching somehow!

It may just be that Nagios hasn't run the next check yet, especially if the check_interval in the service definition is quite long. In the service detail screen, check the last check time and next check time. Also, in the tactical overview screen, check the service check latency. If Nagios is perfor...

Re: Performance Data Retention

Which performance data did you have in mind? Nagios core doesn't retain the performance data returned by plugins. For that you need one of the many addons available - arguably the favoured one (which I use) is PNP4Nagios http://www.pnp4nagios.org/

Re: log rotation

Check the permissions on the parent directory. If the nagios daemon doesn't have write permission it won't be able to delete the file. I think there was a thread on this subject fairly recently on the nagios-users email list. If you're still stuck check out the archives at https://lists.sourceforge....

Re: Passing a holiday calendar to Time Periods?

Yes, you can configure a timeperiod containing your normal alerting hours, then exclude days from another timeperiod. See: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... timeperiod

Re: Nagios monitoring extended partitions

I'm not familiar with extended partitions. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a way to do what you want. Probably the best place to start looking is on the wiki for the NSClient++ agent for Nagios. You will find that at http://nsclient.org/ . Even if one of the two 'standard' methods for monitoring di...

Re: Notification intervals and service escalations

I believe you will need to set a notification_interval so the escalations will work. You can then use the last_notification directive in the escalation definition to make sure notifications stop after the appropriate time.

Re: Not able to start NAGIOS

I think the usual cause of the first problem is that the permissions on the plugin do not permit the nagios user to run it. The problem shown on your screenshot usually indicates that the nagios daemon is not running. Which instructions did you follow when installing Nagios? What the fix is will dep...

Re: Stopped receiving Nagios Text Messages

That depends on how your Nagios server is configured to send notifications to the Blackberrys (or is it "Blackberries"?). Do you use email for both, or is there a specific notification defined for sending to them? If so, you might need manually to run an equivalent command from the command...
