How to surpess notifications if ping fails.

[Jeremiah Jester]

Hmmm, tryied this...but not working. Also, i get an error when i specify
'retry_interval'. maybe n agios3 only?

define host{
    host_name               psedev2
    alias                   dev
    check_command           check-host-alive
    notification_options    d,r
    max_check_attempts      3
    check_interval          1
    retry_interval          1
    address                 10.139.10.42
    use                     generic-host
    parents                 switch-office
}

Error log:
[1246481763] Error: Invalid host object directive 'retry_interval'.
[1246481763] Error: Could not add object property in file
'/etc/nagios2/conf.d/generic-host_nagios2.cfg' on line 143.
[1246481763] Bailing out due to one or more errors encountered in the
configuration files.  Run Nagios from the command line with the -v option to
verify your config before restarting. (PID=27490)


Thanks,
JJ
