Did you by any chance censor the IP addresses in that file? All of the host addresses are like "xxx.xxx.xxx.12".

That is correct.

In your nagios.cfg is the following set?

Code: Select all

execute_host_checks=1

Yes it is

Code: Select all

# HOST CHECK EXECUTION OPTION
# This determines whether or not Nagios will actively execute
# host checks when it initially starts.  If this option is
# disabled, checks are not actively made, but Nagios can still
# receive and process passive check results that come in.  Unless
# you're implementing redundant hosts or have a special need for
# disabling the execution of host checks, leave this enabled!
# Values: 1 = enable checks, 0 = disable checks

execute_host_checks=1

What specific host is this occurring for?

Pretty much all of them.

Would it be possible for you to share your nagios.cfg?

Also, if you go to "Process Info" in the UI, you do have the following correct?

Code: Select all

Host Checks Being Executed?	YES

Do you mean all or pretty much all hosts? Because if it is pretty much all there might be a pattern.

And we might want to enable some really verbose debugging and run nagios for a bit:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
<edit debug_level to be 16 in nagios.cfg>
service nagios start
Let it run for 60 seconds, then stop it again, turn debugging back to 0, and send us your /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.debug and /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log files. During this time, manually re-schedule a host check in Core.
