How are your host checks configured? If you have host checks enabled and a valid host check configured, Nagios will run it as soon as any service goes into a non-OK state. Usually this would prevent any service alerts from going out if the host is completely down. It sounds like you may just need to tweak your host checks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
