I'm currently finishing our Nagios XI setup, which has a lot of old cfg files imported from a (really old) version of nagios.
Only thing I cannot seem to figure out is the notification interval. For instance, I set the interval for the checks of the Veeam backup to 5 minutes, but I receive mails every 10 minutes. I cannot figure out why this is happening. Can anybody explain?
Service definition:
Code: Select all
define service {
service_description veeam_BACKUP_JOBS
use TMPL_generic
hostgroup_name VEEAM_BACKUP_SERVERS
check_command CHK_VEEAM_JOBS!!!!!!!!
max_check_attempts 3
check_interval 5
retry_interval 5
notification_interval 5
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,c,
notifications_enabled 1
_service_id 1479
register 1
}
Code: Select all
define service {
name TMPL_generic
service_description TMPL_generic
is_volatile 0
max_check_attempts 3
check_interval 15
retry_interval 5
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 0
check_period CHK_24x7
register 0
}
EDIT:
Since posting this, I did some more testing, it seems that notifications get delayed by 5 minutes more than the interval. I set the service above with notification_interval 15 and now I get the mails every 20 minutes.
I'm absolutely stunned that I cannot find where those 5 minutes are coming from.
