newbie question...

[Arnar Þórarinsson]

So there is no way of getting just the host down alert when a host goes 
down ?

To explain a little, lets say I'm monitoring CPU, memory and disk space on 
a host.
The host goes down and Nagios sends an alert by email for the host down 
event and
also for the CPU, memory and disk space events.  All I need to know about 
this event is that the host is down.
Just think that it's not neccessary to send an alert email about services 
on a host that is down.

Using the check_cluster plugin is most common. You monitor the 
individual machines and services and check_cluster reflects the 
overall state of the service being monitored.
