Hmmm, tryied this...but not working. Also, i get an error when i specify
'retry_interval'. maybe n agios3 only?
define host{
host_name psedev2
alias dev
check_command check-host-alive
notification_options d,r
max_check_attempts 3
check_interval 1
retry_interval 1
address 10.139.10.42

}
Error log:
[1246481763] Error: Invalid host object directive 'retry_interval'.
[1246481763] Error: Could not add object property in file
'/etc/nagios2/conf.d/generic-host_nagios2.cfg' on line 143.
[1246481763] Bailing out due to one or more errors encountered in the
configuration files. Run Nagios from the command line with the -v option to
verify your config before restarting. (PID=27490)
