You can try and remove the
active_checks_enabled 1
from the host config , the fact that it is enabled make nagios see the
change and then trigger the active check which will be the 2nd status
update ( from up to down) and hence make it a hard state .
if you do not trigger the active check , the master nagios will log the
status change and then wait for the worker's next update.
