Host check behavior

[Horvath Tamas]

Hi List!

MY QUESTION: Does Nagios checks host status at every normal_check_interval
after it put a service associated to the host to a hard non-OK state? (When
hard state change has NOT occurred and the service remains in the same
non-OK state.)

BACKGROUND:

I've been used Nagios 1.2 since 01.2004. I read all of its documents, so I
know about "retry_check_interval", "normal_check_interval" and so on.

I know that: "When a service check results in a non-OK state, Nagios will
check the host that the service is associated with to determine whether or
not is up."

I have a lots of routers with leasd lines and ISDN backup lines. I'm going
to set up Nagios int he following way: if it can't ping leased line
inetrface it uns host check command, which ping ISDN interface. So if router
is reachable, I send notification only about leased line status. (Leased
line is a service of the router.) If router is not reachable, Nagios send me
a host status message.

Thanks in advance, Tamas.
