Passive host results & soft states?

[Marco Supino]

Hi,

What I did is to send the passive host check through NSCA only if its in
hard state, soft states are ignored, what script do you use to call
send_nsca ?

Marco.

Thanks Marc, I found this answer from Ethan Galstad in the thread you
posted:

I think the solution for me is to change the check-host-alive command
to send more pings, that way one dropped packet on a remotely
monitored box won't cause me to get woken up at some ungodly hour.

The command_line I had for check-host-alive (not sure where I got it) 
seems somewhat silly to me:

Original:
$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 1

My Change:
$USER1$/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 1000.0,40% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5
