Hi,

I ran into the following Problem. I've configured "max_check_attempts 4" on my hosts. I've configured some hosts which represent a site in our wan, which are connected with a main and a shadow line. When the main line goes down, it takes about 1minute for the shadow to come up. I only want to get a notification when the shadow fails to get up! But when the host goes down, i recieve prompt notice and the check attempt show 1/4 and will never get to 2/4 or 3/4 or 4/4??!!
It seems as if nagios simply ignores the max_check_attempts value :-/ So I get an mail when the main goes down, and one minute later a recieve a mail the the host is recovered (because the shadow line is up now...) that's kind of getting on my nerves...
Any suggestions what I did wrong and why the max_check_attempt is been ignored?

Regards,
Philipp
