no ping -> no checks

Post by makgab »

Hi!

Can the nagios works that if the workstation machines are off, then nagios doesn't show as critical (marked as red)?
For example, if no ping (host check) then nagios doesn't run the service check commands. (And mark it as unknown?)

(I use nagios "nsca mode" /nagios nsca client -> nagios nsca server/.)

Are you pinging the remote hosts from the nagios server, or are the remote hosts reporting passively with nsca?
