So Ton, Sorry to bring this back up, but what is the retry interval? It has to check every 1 minute, where is this set? I see you said the check interval isn't definted, but what about the retry?

We run a reverse ssh distributed Opsview setup and we saw something that confused us a bit. One of my co-workers was trying to test a notification on a host he had set up. We could get the service check to go critical and the host went critical but the host stayed in a soft state and did not trigger a host down alert. I'm pretty sure the hosts are inheriting settings from the host-global template but I was confused about the check interval being set to 0. Here is the template I think is being used define host{ name host-global event_handler_enabled 0 ; Host event handler is enabled flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts max_check_attempts 2 obsess_over_host 0 check_freshness 0 passive_checks_enabled 1 check_interval 0 ; For the moment, set check_interval to 0 so hosts only checked on demand, like Nagios 2 contact_groups emptydefit register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION IT'S JUST A TEMPLATE! } Does each soft state service check in a "Non-Okay" state generate a host check attempt? It pretty much would have to otherwise you would never see a host down notification. We set check_interval for hosts to 0, which means there are no regular host checks. Host checks will be on-demand, ie when a service state change occurs. What state does the slave say the host is in? How many services are on this host? Is this recreateable? Ton
