<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have defined a service for PING in Nagios as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>define service{<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>
use
generic-service<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>
host_name example.net<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> service_description PING<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>
check_command check_ping!1600.0,40%!3000.0,60%<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>}<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Problem is when I down the host it sends alerts for all other
services but none for “<u>PING service</u>”. PING alert is sent out
for Host after specified max_check_attempts. I want to be notified for the PING
service (defined above) as well. I noticed that service state changes to Hard
to Soft and then immediately to Hard bypassing the max_check_attemps and does
not generate any alert. Am I missing something or is it a bug?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Hope someone can help.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
