service notification when host is down

[Samuel Bancal]

Yes I agree...

But, I do export to a third application the service's perfdata. (using
service_perfdata_file* instructions of Nagios).

That third application is extracting from it whether services are up or down
and doing some actions in consequence.
This behavior is a problem to me because of two facts :
- The third application is aware of a problem before the timing I expect it
to be. (normally should be around "max_check_attempts * retry_check_interval
")
- The administrator may not receive e-mail notification if the host is up
again before the host gets "CRITICAL HARD". And the information has passed
to that third application anyway!

Hope you understand a bit more the inconsistency.
