Problem with contemporaneous passive checks

Post by mon-team »

Hi Guys,

We noticed that passive checks received at the same time are processed in the reserve order.

[root@nagiosxi ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages
Sep 24 15:10:22 tor1vir01 nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;host.lan;servicex;2;test passive checks
Sep 24 15:10:22 tor1vir01 nagios: EXTERNAL COMMAND: PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;host.lan;servicex;0;test passive checks
Sep 24 15:10:31 tor1vir01 nagios: PASSIVE SERVICE CHECK: host.lan;servicex;0;test passive checks
Sep 24 15:10:31 tor1vir01 nagios: PASSIVE SERVICE CHECK: host.lan;servicex;2;test passive checks
Sep 24 15:10:31 tor1vir01 nagios: SERVICE ALERT: host.lan;servicex;CRITICAL;HARD;1;test passive checks
Sep 24 15:10:31 tor1vir01 nagios: GLOBAL SERVICE EVENT HANDLER: host.lan;servicex;CRITICAL;HARD;1;xi_service_event_handler

Is there any solution we can apply on nagios to overcome this issue?

Thanks

This is is due to the external command pipe only supporting second resolution in time stamps, not microsecond resolution. Is there a way to slow the second passive result down by a second or more?
