Thanks marc, but no go :( Here is my config. If this host is down I get an alert within a min or so of starting nagios.
Can you see why in my config?

That should do it. Make sure you don't have multiple nagios processes running. Post config sections if you need further help. > Can anyone please show me a sample config snippet or how they do it? ~12 minute delay to notification -- max_check_attempts 4 retry_check_interval 3 -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
