several host notifications for 1 host

[Hendrik Baecker]

Hi guys,

after spending some ours in the code I have to tell: "It works as designed".

The Host Notification we are all seeing are _not_ from the scheduled
neither of the on-demand host checks.

Initiated by the service checks for a host nagios takes per default the
last known host state to determine to send a host or a service notification.

The last known Host check result after service check of your "DB server
egal" was the "soft down" from the last host-check.

If you want Nagios to execute a real host check after a non-OK service
check you should use the config option:

use_aggressive_host_checking=1

Kind regards,
Hendrik

It seems to be related to service checks on these host because other hosts, without service checks, work fine. I know service checks will cause a host check but even then there shouldn't  be a notification before the host check returns  a hard state, right ?
