I am looking at the status.dat file and I noticed that the current_state is
=1 even when the host is down and is in critical state. I assume that if a
host is down, the current_state should be =2. I am not sure how Nagios sets
the current_status but in my case, the host is definitely off:
admin1@serverr1:~> ping userver02
PING userver02.localhost (192.168.0.11) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- userver02.localhost ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6012ms
So why does the status.dat file say that the current_status=1? Does it mean
that the host is in Warning state only, and not in Critical as opposed to
what I am seeing in the web console? Anyway, I am bothered by this because I
am using the check_summary.pl plugin (
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Network-and-Systems-Management/Nagios/check_summary/details)
and
it reads the status.dat file.
Btw, the status.dat file looks like this:
