I have Nagios running on Linux monitoring around 500 hosts on our network. For most of those hosts, we only need to know if they respond to a ping. Since I've read that enabling "active host checks" may cause performance problems, I made an "ICMP" service and assigned each server to it.
This works great save for one problem: If a host fails to respond to the ICMP service check, it instantly jumps to the host check (which is also a ping) and times out after 1 1/2 minutes (or 10 host check pings with 10 second timeouts). What I need is for it to behave like a standard service check, that is to obey by the rules of the retry_interval. Is this possible?
