Execution at specific times

[rajasegar]

Nagios Xi 2014R1.2
check_gearman: version 1.4_nagios4 running on libgearman 0.25

We are having issues with getting nagios to execute checks at specific times.

Code: Select all

define timeperiod {
	timeperiod_name               		esb_db_pcejrln_check
	alias                         		esb_db_pcejrln_check
	monday                        		07:15-23:25
	tuesday                       		07:15-23:25
	wednesday                     		07:15-23:25
	thursday                      		07:15-23:25
	friday                        		07:15-23:25
	saturday                      		07:15-23:25
	sunday                        		07:15-23:25
	}	

The check starts at 7:15am and execute every 1 hour.
It works fine if there is no interruption etc.
However if there is, and the check gets executed at 8:07am, it starts executing from that time onwards.
Eg: 8:07, 9:07 etc.

This check is for specific file at specific times so this behavior cannot be used.
Please advice on this. How to get Nagios to stick to the original execution time schedule.

How about creating more specific time windows.

I was hoping to avoid this. Anyway thanks, will try it out.
How does the execution behave if there is a long queue during the specified execution time?

I'll need to get one of the other tech's to answer that question.

BTW, I am using mod gearman.

As it normally would, which may cause checks to bit early or late depending on the queue. I do think the behavior is more pronounced in core after the last bit of changes to the scheduler.
