Preventing false errors

[Harper Mann]

Make the router at the ISP the parent_host of the target "Monitored Server".


You should be able to determine the IP with traceroute.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Preventing false errors

Is there a way to setup the monitoring service so it monitors its own 
server and does not send errors if its down..

Example

Server 1 - Nagios Server


Server 2 - Monitored Server

If the ISP for server 1 hiccups I get errors reporting Server 2, I would 
like to prevent this.
