Nagios isn't designed to do this; you'll need to jump through hoops to accomplish it. At the least you need to be running nagios-3 with active host checks configured. I'd suggest you look at creating an event handler for your hosts that issues the external command 'DISABLE_HOST_SVC_CHECKS' when the host is non-OK and issues the external command 'ENABLE_HOST_SVC_CHECKS' when the host recovers. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ 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
