ping does not recover

[Marko Riedel]

Hi folks,

we have some machines that reboot during the night. Our PING service
goes critical during that time, as indeed it should.

There is a problem with recovery however. Sometimes the service does
not recover until I manually schedule a check with the web interface.

Here are my definitions:

# Generic service definition template
define service{
        name    generic-service
        active_checks_enabled           1
        passive_checks_enabled          1
        parallelize_check               1
        obsess_over_service             1
        check_freshness                 0
        notifications_enabled           0
        event_handler_enabled           1
        flap_detection_enabled          1
        process_perf_data               1
        retain_status_information       1
        retain_nonstatus_information    1

        register        0
        }

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        name                            ping-service
        service_description             PING
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  linux-admins
        notification_interval           240
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command                   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
        register                        0
        }


define service{
        use                             ping-service
        host_name                       host

}


I'd appreciate any feedback you may have.

Best regards,
