Cadence necessary for Service check graphing?
Posted: Mon Mar 18, 2019 1:58 pm
Hello Nagios support,
I have a user of our XI system who has configured 3 passive checks to receive data once every 24-hours. We notice that the built-in graphing tool was having a hard time plotting the data for these 3 checks. Only one out of 3 service checks are working, the others two were still reporting "0" for the perf-data in the graph. (I confirmed they are getting the data in the check results).
I forced some manual passive-check-results for the two which were missing graphing data, and the graphing kicked in for them. But then we noticed the 3rd working one started to show a gap in the plot-line. I have seen this in Active checks, typically when they are not receiving data for x-amount of time.
In summary, I have the hunch that the 1x/day cadence might be too lengthy for the graphing tool to understand what to do. Would that be correct? If so, is there a minimum cadence that is necessary in order to have graphing recognize the data correctly?
Thanks,
