You'll need to define at least one service, even if its just a check_ping service. -- Marc Sent from a very tiny wireless device with a very tiny unlit keyboard. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff McKeon <jsm@inpro.net> To: Nagios List <nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Mon Feb 10 07:52:02 2003 Subject: [Nagios-users] check-host-alive Ok, this one is probably really simple... added a new host to the nagios config over the weekend, a 3COM switch. I didn't put any service checks on it because there's nothing really running on it because it's a switch. The status still says "Pending." Shouldn't the default "Check-host-alive" command that is defined in the host file change the status to "up?" thanks, jeff ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! <A HREF="http://www.vasoftware.com">http://www.vasoftware.com</A> _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <A HREF="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users</A> </BODY> </HTML>
