However, even while the host was powered down (and I had it in pieces on my desk for 2 hours), the host status was still being indicated as up. Status up, status information host assumed to be up. I'm using this host template define host{ name default notifications_enabled 1 event_handler_enabled 1 flap_detection_enabled 0 process_perf_data 1 retain_status_information 1 retain_nonstatus_information 1 max_check_attempts 20 notification_interval 60 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r register 0 } with each host configured like this define host { host_name blade2 use default alias Blade2 PDC parents CNE-12-CS1,CNE-12-CS2,CNE-12-CS3 address 192.168.41.17 } Does anyone have any suggestions, or is there more information which would be useful. <TABLE CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="100%"> <TR> <TD> <TABLE BORDER="1"> <TR> <TD> CJ Garlands IT Dept.
