On a downed host, ping service alerts will get suppressed by host alerts if you're also using ping to check the host.
If you're using the standard ping-based check_host_alive, you should only get ping-service problem notifications when the host is still pingable but packetloss/RTT is in your warning or critical ranges. For your test, set up your test host to use "check_dummy 0" for the host check, then test your ping service notifications again. That way host-check interaction is out of the equation. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Hanley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 10:54 AM > To: Marc Powell; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [Nagios-users] Notification problem > > > > host check_command from the command line as the nagios user you may > see additional information.
