How do i configure Nagios's check schedule

Post by litsupport.box »

Hello, :)

I now have a couple of workers running on multiple locations within our organisation. I don't want my workers to run the checks on all hosts simultaneously, I would rather want them to run one after another.

For Example:~
Location 1: Worker 1 does checks on all servers on that location..
Checks: 1: 12:00 2: 12:10 3: 12:20 etc..
Location 2: Worker 2..
Checks: 12:03 2: 12:13 3: 12:23 etc..
Location 3: Worker 3..
Checks: 12:06 2: 12:16 3: 12:26 etc..

Is this possible to set this up on service/host/groups or do i have to do this with every host individually?

Please advise, any other suggestions are welcome.

I assume these are mod_gearman workers? I don't know of any way to set a by-the-minute scheduling of checks with gearman, and I know for a fact that there is no option for this in Nagios. We do have service interleaving, but that's automatic:
