Yes, that's how it works. The documentation is here -- http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/networkreachability.html What you may be getting caught by is that nagios changes the status from Down to Unreachable for those hosts. If your notification_options includes the (u)nreachable flag, you'll still receive notifications about those hosts. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
