Hi 00_kl250,

The -t option is the timeout, i.e. the number of seconds to wait before the connection times out.

I set mine to 30, I'm not entirely sure why I chose that number (I think I was having some latency issues in my network), but the default value is 10.

Kind Regards,

Gary Shergill

Here's another question for you.

It seems like it's not actively monitoring. I stopped the apache service on the client and the nagios server did not detect that no apache services were running until I did a force check. Is there a way to make sure it's monitoring(or checking in) every minute?

Thanks for all your help!

Hi 00_kl250,

By default I think Nagios checks a service every 10 minutes.

In the service.cfg you can add the following to the service;

Code: Select all

        check_interval                  1 
Kind Regards,
