Host Check Scheduling !

[Sumit Malhotra]

Hi All!

I am using nagios 1.2 with nsca for monitoring hosts on Windows and Unix. Thinks Wok Great !
But as the feature of Passive Host Check is Missing. Many alert ( Against Services) comes up !

As the Firewall doesn't allow anything to reach to host. I devised my own hack to make it work .Here is what I did.

I devised a Shell script who checks for service checks received within last n minutes   and let it run as host check ..
 So if there is no check received  since last n minutes then the alert will be fired .
 It works fine  As i have suppressed the alerts to an extent. 


 The Above " hack" works fine as along as Freshness check of the services of the host ( that has went down) is greater than  the Time  at which next host check is scheduled otherwise the same problem pops up again .
 Is there a way to schedule the host checks separately ?

the configuration and other documentation states scheduling of Service check ... How to manipulate scheduling of host check ???

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,
Sumit
