it skips soft state and goes straight to hard state. what would cause this? It doesn't happen every time.

I have a back up server and it monitors the same devices. It had the right check.

Do you passively updating the host? That is the only thing I can think of immediately that would cause this.

I figured out what it was. I recently set up inbound checks from my slave server and had it exclude localhost only. This meant that it was sending passive checks to my main server and when they would come in it would be in a hard state. I set it from exclude to include and picked the hosts I wanted to monitor. It works great now. This thread can be closed.
