Changing threshold time in nagios

Post by prak86 »

Hi,
I have installed nagios in a CentOS vm and now its monitoring the local host, one remote host which is also a vm with CentOS 5.3 and one windows xp system.

Is there any option for me to change the threshold time for the services given?
for eg;

i had a service of current_load which comes as a default plugin while installing nagios itself. what should i do to change the threshold value of the current_load so that i might get the warning or error alert some time earlier as it was now.

I am new to this nagios, can anyone let me know the procedures to change the threshold time......

This can be two parts. First verify the check_command used in the service's description. There should be a number of arguments(separated by '!') that will control this. If the check command you are currently using has static values then it may be necessary to change or re-write the check_command.
