Outputs were as expected! None problems faced then. However I will test 2.10 again and cross check the check-host-alive and other services run.

The implication then is that your check-host-alive command doesn't actually do that. The status information at the time this happens would be the confirmation of that. When a service goes down, check-host-alive is run. If it returns a non-OK state (or fails in certain ways), the host status is set to non-OK. When the service recovers, check-host-alive is run again to verify that the host has recovered. If it still returns a non-OK state (or fails in certain ways), the host status will remain non-OK. When you restart nagios, check-host-alive is _not_ run. Instead, nagios assumes the host is OK as long as the service on the host returns OK. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
