Too stupid? Services are available, but nagios reports host to be down!

[Heiko Schlittermann]

Hello,

Valdinger, Stephen (DOV, MSX) <svalding at doverchem.com> (Di 08 Apr 2008 13:58:36 CEST):

Thank you for your response.

But - a bogus check returning "OK" would be wrong too, because the host
*can* be down.

The host should assumed to be UP if *any* service check on this host was
successful. The host should assumed to be DOWN, if all service checks
failed.

Any suggestion anybody?

    Best regards from Dresden
