We run Nagios 3 on an Ubuntu box and I'm looking for a way to stop Nagios falsely reporting services/hosts as down/unknown if, for example, the network cable was pulled out of the server / the card failed. This has happened recently for over an hour and now all hosts/services have a false hours downtime. I'm not too bothered, but I like to try and keep things as neat as possible. Does anyone know of a way of preventing this? All I can think is some way of detecting when the server has lost network and then automatically quitting / disabling Nagios? Thanks in advance.
