my nagios is Nagios® Core™ Versão 3.2.0

im have 3 different services
I want the services make checks at different times
im configure check_interval in each service

I put a different value of each check interval for each service
1st service
check_interval = 3
2nd service
check_interval = 5
3rdt service
check_interval = 7

but it did not work because they keep coming at the same time

******* See Bellow my nagios.conf

If you want certain host / service to check at different intervals, etc you would add those options to the host / service check and that will over ride the settings from the template.

My question to you is are all of your host / service checks running at the same time and you do not want that to happen?
What version of Nagios are you running and can you post your nagios.cfg file?

Can you post the configuration files for those 3 service checks and a screen capture of them running in the GUI interface?
What interval do all of those checks run at, 3, 5 or 7 minutes?

Dear Tgriep

The 3 Services are configure with Check_interrval = 3, 5 and 7 minutes

What screen is that of them running in the GUI interface?

** see bellow the .cfg of 3 services :

define service {
#NAGIOSQL_CONFIG_NAME servidor_esxi_hardware_2589
hostgroup_name servidor-esxi-HP-2589
service_description hwEsxiHardware
display_name Servidor Hospedeiro HP - estado de hardware
use servico-generico
check_command check_esxi_hardware_2589!-p!-t 120!-i "IPMI SEL,Memory"
check_interval 3
retry_interval 3
check_period 24x7
register 1
}

======================================================================================================

define service {
#NAGIOSQL_CONFIG_NAME servidor_esxi_hardware_2592
hostgroup_name servidor-esxi-HP-2592
service_description hwEsxiHardware
display_name Servidor Hospedeiro HP - estado de hardware
use servico-generico
check_command check_esxi_hardware_2592!-p!-t 120!-i "IPMI SEL,Memory"
check_interval 5
retry_interval 5
check_period 24x7
register 1
}

======================================================================================================

define service {
#NAGIOSQL_CONFIG_NAME servidor_esxi_hardware_2607
hostgroup_name servidor-esxi-HP-2607
service_description hwEsxiHardware
display_name Servidor Hospedeiro HP - estado de hardware
use servico-generico
check_command check_esxi_hardware_2607!-p!-t 120!-i "IPMI SEL,Memory"
check_interval 7
retry_interval 7
check_period 24x7
register 1
}

In the GUI, go to the Service's menu, select those services showing the Service State Information, screen capture that and post them here.
The configurations look like they should work. Any chance you can upgrade to the latest 3.x version so see if that works for you?

the only difference is the value

the others have value of 5 and 7

This is the screen capture I am looking for. It shows when the check ran, the next time it is going to run, etc.
I need to see the screen showing that those services are running at the same time.

orr... ok

see

That screen capture is from another service and not the 3 services you posted earlier. Can you post them?
Are you saying that the service that is set to check at 3 minutes is not running every 3 minutes and the one at 5 minutes is not running every 5 minutes, etc..?

Yes the services are run in same time

im need the 3 services
servidor_esxi_hardware_2589 - 3
servidor_esxi_hardware_2592 - 5
servidor_esxi_hardware_2607 - 7

Hmmm you need the screen of the service. check bellow


The Service "servidor_esxi_hardware_2607" that need to check each 7 minutes

Thanks

From your screen capture, if you take the difference between the last check time and the next scheduled check, that would be the check_interval.
These are your values
Last Check time = 21-07-2016 13:28:02
Next Scheduled Check = 21-07-2016 13:34:00
The only thing can see wrong is that is is scheduled for 6 minutes and not 7 minutes that you want.

You may want to upgrade to a newer version of Nagios as there could be bugs in the scheduler that could cause the 1 minute discrepancy.
