Monitoring an intermittent host

[Hochberg, Keith]

You could set the max_check_attempts really high to get around this.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Monitoring an intermittent host


All,
	I have an intermittent host that connects for 15 minutes out of
every hour.  I only want to be notified that it is down if it does not
connect for a couple of hours.  I see how I can make the check interval
longer but this does not really solve my problem.  The remote host has a
lot of drift.  I imagine there is an easy way to do this but I am
missing it if so.  I looked through the options in the configuration
file and searched the archives (as best I could for some reasons the
archives for this list are not available right now)  Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Don
