First off, could you describe the troubleshooting steps that led you to conclude you needed to disable host checks? That's a drastic measure to take and produces many undesirable side effects.
Without a host check command, there's nothing to reset the host state to "Host UP", so it will stay in the previous state recorded. If you cannot ping a host, but it is providing SOME sort of reachable network service, you should still define a host test of some sort (use check_tcp). "Host Check" in Nagios is a synonym for "Reachability Test". > -----Original Message----- > From: G Bit [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 3:09 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Nagios-users] Disable host checks > > > Hi, > > I have disabled host checks by not defining the check_command > in the host definition.
