Update Warnings, Standalone Check

[vornado]

Good morning, all.

After updating to version 5.11.3, the log showed some warnings followed by the total number of warnings. I made the corrections as indicated in the warnings. Is there a standalone way to check that I've gotten rid of all the warnings? Or do I have to wait until the next update?

All of the warnings were about services that had notification intervals less than their check intervals. Here are a few examples.

Warning: Service 'DNS IP Match' on host 'Bizflow Disaster Recovery Server C155MGAUS01' has a notification interval less than its check interval! Notifications are only re-sent after checks are made, so the effective notification interval will be that of the check interval.
Warning: Service 'DNS Resolution' on host 'Bizflow Disaster Recovery Server C155MGAUS01' has a notification interval less than its check interval! Notifications are only re-sent after checks are made, so the effective notification interval will be that of the check interval.
Warning: Service 'HTTP' on host 'Bizflow Disaster Recovery Server C155MGAUS01' has a notification interval less than its check interval! Notifications are only re-sent after checks are made, so the effective notification interval will be that of the check interval.

Thanks for your help.

Hey @vornado

I believe you can check /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log for errors like these. Let us know if these are what you are looking for.

Hi @vornado,

You can also run this script:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

which will give you warning or error messages if you have anything misconfigured.

Hope this helps!

Hey @vornado, it looks like your issue is resolved so I'm going to go ahead and lock the topic.
