Host Shows As Down But Services Are Showing As OK

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi Marc --

I did run the check commands as the nagios user on the host in question, and all
came back with the OK state.

Starting at the basics, have you tried running your host check_command
(as the nagios user) to make sure that it's returning an OK state as
expected? Only on startup does Nagios use the results of a service check
to assume the status of the host. At all other times the host
check_command is the authoritative source.
