I'm playing a little bit with nagios3 and ndotuils from cvs.
I'm having a configuration with one host as the starting point (using
) tofind out if the web-connection of the server is working and using that
host as parent
for 3 other hosts which are only checked by ping.
Last night I got a message that the google-host was down.
Looking at the logs it seems like the other hosts were found unreachable
and the google-host was unreachable too so the web-connection was down.
Thats fine so far, also that I only got the notification for the
"google-host".
I'm trying to build a daemon that sends notifications only by the
state-changes (found in the statehistory table).
Looking at the nagios_statehistory table I only see "soft" errors and no
"hard" error for that down issue but one for the google-host coming up
again.
On the other side - looking at the nagios logs I see that one - there is
a hard-status right beside the notification.

so what gives? Seems like ndo only records the hard "up" state in the
database and not the "down" state. At least for hosts - don't know about
services yet.
Anyone who can confirm or fix this?
Thanks in advance,
thomas
