It is not possible to do this with a nagios-2.x install, nor would it be desirable to try to force this by introducing any delay with the host check. To avoid repeating myself, please read http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg17242.html I believe this can be accomplished with nagios-3 but I don't use it yet. Alternately, you could consider not using host checks at all and rely on service checks entirely but you lose the benefits of parenting and host dependencies if you use those. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
