Re: Service checks keep postponing

Post by rkymtnhigh »

I'm starting to think rebuilding everything would be quicker than looking through this log!

Seriously, the log seems to be generating the same events similar to the screenshot, over and over.

I am noticing some time related entries. Is it possible there is something wrong with the time setting/zone - that would cause it to keep rescheduling the next check?
Maybe it thinks it already past the scheduled check time or something so it reschedules it?

I've attached another snippet of the log in case it helps.

Thanks!

The debug log is very terse. You could lower the debug level and get less, but it's generally easier to just make good use of the tools you have to sort through a big log. Me personally, I would grep the log for exact service check names that you know are causing you issues.

Time could be the issue, but not if it's not affecting all the services on the host - that is unless you have a VERY unstable clock that is causing you grief.

In case you care to lower the debug verbosity:

Code: Select all

# DEBUG LEVEL
# This option determines how much (if any) debugging information will
# be written to the debug file.  OR values together to log multiple
# types of information.
# Values:
#          -1 = Everything
#          0 = Nothing
#          1 = Functions
#          2 = Configuration
#          4 = Process information
#          8 = Scheduled events
#          16 = Host/service checks
#          32 = Notifications
#          64 = Event broker
#          128 = External commands
#          256 = Commands
#          512 = Scheduled downtime
#          1024 = Comments
#          2048 = Macros

In the Nagios XI GUI, click on Admin > Monitoring Engine Status on the left hand side and screen capture that and post it here.

Will play with the debug level and grep for specific services that are failing to check.
EDIT: grepping this log file for hosts/services that are failing to check returns absolutely nothing. Grepping by hostname and service name.

Here is the screenshot of the monitoring engine status:
