Does not recognize a ping recovery

[Pascal Wessel]

Steve,

 

Funny (well, not that much in fact). I had the same trouble once and I
did a reboot of my Linux box (Debian almost woody and nagios latest
stable branch - no CVS).

I think I had this problem because at that time I was editing my config
files a lot (and nagios was running meanwhile).

/etc/init.d/nagios restart wasn't smart enough to cope with these
changes it seems.. A reboot of the box cleared all my mess.

It seems that a network restart was a smarter solution.

 

By the way, I have no idea of what is causing this behaviour.

 

Regards (to the list as well).

Pascal

Subject: [Nagios-users] Does not recognize a ping recovery

 

When a host goes down I am notified by Nagios, but something seems to
stop Nagios or Linux from being able to successfully ping the host again
when it comes up. I have to verify the host is up by pinging it from
another computer. When I ssh into the Nagios box, I try to ping the host
but Linux/Nagios thinks its unreachable (times out). I have to restart
the network (/etc/init.d/./network restart) in order for it to be able
to ping the host again (this will immediately trigger a host recovery
notification). Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?
I don't think I have the firewall enabled.

 

Thanks for any help.

I am a newbie to the list, so I am sorry if I used the it incorrectly.

Steve S.
