change check interval for all services

Post by nagios_aws »

Hello everyone,

I have added almost 300 services, and I need to change the value of the "check interval" from 1 to 5 on all those 300 services ...

Is there a way to do it for all ? or do I have to do it manually on each service ?

Thank you

If you have a template in use by all of the services and you are defining the check_interval in that template, then changing that template should suffice. Otherwise, we do have a tool called the Bulk Modifications Tool in the Enterprise Edition feature set. There is a (somewhat older) video of ours that shows exactly what you are wanting to do:

If you have not done so already, you can enable a free 60-day trial of the Enterprise Edition features to get access to this tool.
