Nagios xi - check intervals

Post by jtully »

Good afternoon,

I am running a trial on nagios xi - trying to run a simple check_log service check.

Can you lower the check interval frequency below 1 minute / 60secs?

We see the error clear itself automatically - is there a way to stop the alert from clearing itself - for example if we were not watching the screen we would miss the issue?

Also, the history of previous events seems to lose the original alert string and just has the time of the event and the fact that it's not critical..

Any help would be greatly appreciated - being a total nagios newbie :)

Cheers,
Jason

You can adjust the interval_length directive (in /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg) mentioned in this documentation:
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... gmain.html

By default, it is 60 seconds. It is recommended that it not be reduced below 60 seconds for most installations, but there isn't really anything stopping you from changing it.
