<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When we notice a server go down, nagios will get hung up on that one server and check it until it is back up. Is there any way to do the following:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. have the host check only page after the 2nd instance it is found to be down (eliminating false alarms due to a number of reasons)?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. have the host check not get hung on one system when it is found to be down?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thank you very much for your responses.</FONT>
