You can always set the check command for the host to execute the check_dummy plugin so that if it doesn't get the result and decides to run an active check check_dummy will force it to be in an up state. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerry®

Yet it's still performing ping checks for some hosts at some times. This is mostly just annoying, but when it decides to ping hosts that it doesn't have a route to, pagers go off. I've got 30k services in this config, so debug isn't really an easy option. Seeing this on 3.3.1. Any ideas? # excerpt from nagios.cfg accept_passive_host_checks=1 cached_host_check_horizon=15 check_for_orphaned_hosts=0 check_host_freshness=0 enable_predictive_host_dependency_checks=0 execute_host_checks=0 host_inter_check_delay_method=s max_host_check_spread=30 obsess_over_hosts=0 passive_host_checks_are_soft=1 translate_passive_host_checks=0 use_aggressive_host_checking=0 -- Mike Lindsey ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
