The other is to actually have ping (usually defined as check-host-alive) as the host check, when the host is unreachable, the notifications for the services will not be sent. Nagios3 would also be a good idea for an upgrade (something I believe ubuntu has as a package already) as the host checks are much better in v3. -- Jonathan Angliss <j...@netdork.net> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net 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
