Status map reports wrong state for more than an hour

[Ackim Chisha]

Hi people,

I have configured nagios fine and everything seems to work well the only 
bad thing is that my status map reports too much errors. It sometimes 
reports the site as being down for more than an hour when actually the 
site is up and vice-versa. My main concern is to check that all my 350 
hosts are alive by using ping.

 I have tried to play with the following below but to no avail:

check_period                   
max_check_attempts             
normal_check_interval          
retry_check_interval           

*I have configured the services like below:
*
# Generic  Service2 definition
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name 
of service template to use
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        notification_options            w,u,c,r
        service_description             PING
        check_command                   check_ping
   
       }


*My Host file is defined as follows
*define command{
        command_name    check-host-alive
        command_line    $USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 300.0,80% 
-c 5000.0,100% -p 1
        }

# 'Generic host definition 2
define host{
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
       }


Regards,
Ackim
