Distributed Environment: NRDP & Network Latency

[jhobbins]

G'day Guys,

Aside from "Service and Host Freshness Checking" is there a way to ensure send_nrdp.sh commands successfully send results over WAN links with potentially high latency?

I hope I've been clear in my question.

Yes, the send_nrdp.sh script will return with an error message and error code if it can't send something to the server.

Thanks mate.

Is it possible to set a retry or timeout value?

You can call it with the following flag

Code: Select all

-D /path/to/temp/dir

And it will store unsuccessful attempts in /path/to/temp/dir and retry sending them the next time the script is called

Otherwise you would need to modify the script adding

Code: Select all

--timeout=seconds

after wget on line 90

Thanks mate.

Is wget preferable over curl?

If so, do I simply swap the order in the shell script?

[mguthrie]

Not really much of a difference either way. Some base installs of Linux don't ship with wget anymore, but most ship with curl.
