Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

Can someone explain the difference between these 2 value:

NUMACTSVCCHECKSxM number of total active service checks occuring in last 1/5/15 minutes.

and this:

NUMSVCACTCHKxM number of services actively checked in last 1/5/15/60 minutes.

Because this NUMACTSVCCHECKS5M gives: 1
and this NUMSVCACTCHK5M gives: 2004

I am using mod_gearman which runs the checks. Can be this the root of the difference?

thanks,

Yeah, most likely. I do not think that Nagios tracks broker/mod based checks the same way internal ones are tracked.

Can we say that in this case the NUMACTSVCCHECKS5M can be replaced by NUMSVCACTCHK5M ?

Possibly, though that count may not be accurate either as it may just be the total number of services instead of those actually scheduled in the time window. You will have to investigate this by comparing the reported number against the total number of checks that should be scheduled in the listed timeframe.
