Thanks for all the insight. And I assume ALL service checks are on hold as
soon as host check returns non-OK. What I think I'm finding is that some of
my SNMP-based service check scripts are hanging far too long and the Net-SNMP
daemon can only handle one connection at a time (doesn't fork a new daemon)
so all subsequent checks fail, to include my HOST check as it is a combination
of connecting to the snmpd and sshd daemons. The sshd connection is fine but
the snmpd times out. I do this as pinging wasn't possible to the systems I'm
monitoring as they're spread across the Internet. Should I set my service
check timeout to something outrageous (it's already at 90 seconds) or can I
tell Nagios to run serialized service checks for certain problematic hosts?
