The problem is the number of retries before a hard state is computed. I can't figure out what's the problem, so I'm asking for some help from you. My nagios setup is 3.02, with flap detection disabled. I think the rest is a standard stand alone setup. For my host configuration I don't want regularly scheduled host checks, so I have the check_interval set to 0. The configuration is below: <table x:str="" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 1029pt;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="1369"> <col style="width: 54pt;" width="72"> <col style="width: 80pt;" width="106"> <col style="width: 78pt;" width="104"> <col style="width: 102pt;" width="136"> <col style="width: 70pt;" width="93"> <col style="width: 65pt;" width="86"> <col style="width: 105pt;" width="140"> <col style="width: 65pt;" width="86"> <col style="width: 105pt;" width="140"> <col style="width: 113pt;" width="151"> <col style="width: 86pt;" width="114"> <col style="width: 106pt;" width="141"> <tbody> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td style="height: 12.75pt; width: 54pt;" height="17" width="72">Host Name</td> <td style="width: 80pt;" width="106">Alias/Description</td> <td style="width: 78pt;" width="104">Address</td> <td style="width: 102pt;" width="136">Max.

But what I get is this: <img src="cid:part1.02090408.01070506@fccn.pt" alt="Service Ok" title="Service Ok" align="left">[12-06-2008 10:11:11] SERVICE ALERT: gttest;ping;OK;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 56.90 ms <img src="cid:part1.02090408.01070506@fccn.pt" alt="Host Up" title="Host Up" align="left">[12-06-2008 10:07:22] HOST ALERT: gttest;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 39.28 ms <img src="cid:part3.03080902.08030801@fccn.pt" alt="Service Critical" title="Service Critical" align="left">[12-06-2008 10:06:21] SERVICE ALERT: gttest;ping;CRITICAL;HARD;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100% <img src="cid:part3.03080902.08030801@fccn.pt" alt="Host Down" title="Host Down" align="left">[12-06-2008 10:06:14] HOST ALERT: gttest;DOWN;HARD;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100% <img src="cid:part3.03080902.08030801@fccn.pt" alt="Host Down" title="Host Down" align="left">[12-06-2008 10:06:11] HOST ALERT: gttest;DOWN;SOFT;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100% <img src="cid:part3.03080902.08030801@fccn.pt" alt="Service Critical" title="Service Critical" align="left">[12-06-2008 10:05:21] SERVICE ALERT: gttest;ping;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100% Nagios just tries 2 times, without the 1 minute interval from retry_interval variable, and gives HARD state. Of course I'm getting to much false positives on this small duration down states that I want to discard.
