host & service down best practice

[poiret gilles]

Hello,

I'm using Nagios for few times, and I'm wondering about the best way to have good quality stats. about services when host is down : 

For now, if a service is in a problem stat, the related host is checked. If the host is down... nothing.

So, stats about the other services of this host are not said CRITICAL, whereas it's the truth. If the interval check is long enough, stats for those services will be totally wrong.
I wanted to use the "services dependencies", but that only work for notification.
So, the best solution I found is to associate en eventhandler on the host, which re-schedule active check for all services of the host.
(passive check would be more interresting, but there is no external command to submit a passive check to all services of a host.)



That's my experience, and I wondering about yours..
So I would appreciate a feedback about that point.
Thanks.
