new service check schedule takes 20 min

[zaji_nms]

Dear Expert,

i have observed that as soon as i add new service in nagios it takes new service check schedule approx 20 min , how can i minimize this interval ?
i have added service at 9:36 and schedule service check at 9:57 see the below example ;
" Pending N/A 1/5 N/A Service check is pending... Check is scheduled for 2013-12-11 09:57:13 "

This depends on the current check queue environment, how many checks are you running? Host/service combined?

[zaji_nms]

318 hosts / 3700 services

Active Host Checks
1-min 249
5-min 318
15-min 318

Active Service Checks
1-min 2,587
5-min 3,361
15-min 3,570

It looks like on average your service/host checks are running at a rate of once every 1-4 minutes. This would make sense that a new check would have to wait for the current scheduled ones to pass through before it is able to be ran. However, 20 minutes is an awfully long time. If you re-schedule a check after you create it's respective host/service does it check almost immediately?

yes it's do that , but how would i check immediate for a new service..at present i have to go each service and then i have to schedule immediate check . is there any other way to do bulk schedule immediate check for all new services.

This functionality is not available in XI - you will have to schedule an immediate check for each host/service one-by-one. It's a nice functionality to have, though. You can post a feature request on our bug tracker here:
