Thanks for the fast answer.<br>Freshenss seems to do the tric, to a point anyway.<br>I can see if the host services dies now, just like an active check as its down. However it doesn't report correctly on the host status.<br><br>Since freshness last resport option is to ping the host IP adress, and if the server goes down and are behind a firewall, the ping will just go to that gateway. Is there any way to "fake" nagios to thinking that the host is down if some service goes down?<br>Rikard<br><br>> From: pangrazi@gmail.com<br>> Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2010 09:28:13 -0600<br>> To: rik.dahlberg@gmail.com; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net<br>> Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Alert host down with passive check<br>> <br>> Please keep the list on the replies so others can learn from this as well.<br>> <br>> define service{<br>> use generic-service<br>> host_name HOST<br>> service_description Logged In users<br>> active_checks_enabled 0;<br>> passive_checks_enabled 1;<br>> check_freshness 1;<br>> freshness_threshold 600;<br>> check_command check_stale!2!'This Service is stale'<br>> }<br>> <br>> Greg Pangrazio<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 9:18 AM, Rikard Dahlberg <rik.dahlberg@gmail.com> wrote:<br>> > Thanks.<br>> ><br>> > I've now edited nagios.cfg to use freshness and looked up the manual.. :)<br>> > Would you mind giving me an example of the service and command?
