If host checks are a major problem for your setup (and it sounds like, if you were getting false positives, it may be better to tweak the checks so they don't get tripped so often), you can set up a host check that always succeeds, which'll work better than no host check. Since host checks will generally only get called when a service check fails, though, if you're getting false positives you probably just need to retool the service checks a bit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
