I need some clarification as to how exactly the host check determines if a host is down. In the default configuration, the check-host-alive command sends a single ping, which can be considered (obviously) either ok, warning, or critical. The host then has a max_check_attempts setting of three, which if I understand things correctly means it will try this check twice more, in rapid succession, before putting the host into a hard state. My question is what is the logic if one of these three checks returns a different state than the other two? Say, for example, the first ping never makes it back, therefore returning a critical state, but the second and third come back, giving OK states? is the host then considered up or down? Thanks!
