i created some services for a host...
all the services are in green and active..however the host check still shows as greyed and in PENDING state...
this is a linux server...
can you tell me how to fix t his....
i checked the configurations and there are no errors or warning

Do you have a check command specified for the host? If so what is it?
Configure -> CCM -> Host -> Modify

i dont have any check command specified ......

the check command is blank for my other servers and they are not in PENDING state...

If it is blank, then it it probably defined in the template. Go to:

Configure -> CCM -> Host -> Modify and check what is the template that you are using (under "Common Settings" tab).

Then go to:

Configure -> CCM -> Templates -> Host Templates -> <your_template> -> Modify, and see what is the check command.

Note: The template used should be the "xiwizard_linuxserver_host", and the command is probably "check_xi_host_ping".

Try running the following command from the command line:
and show us the output.

i changed the template to linux server host....

the out put of the command is as shown below....
nagprod:/usr/local/nagios/libexec> /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_icmp -H mxtjmfgdrmhau.bose.com -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5
OK - mxtjmfgdrmhau.bose.com: rta 139.250ms, lost 0%|rta=139.250ms;3000.000;5000.000;0; pl=0%;80;100;;


still the host check is in PENDING STATE

Go to the Core Config Manager->Hosts->find the mxtjmfgdrmhau.bose.com host, click on the "Download" action button (diskette icon), save and post the config file.

Can you verify that linux-server is specified under Additional templates.

Make sure once you select it you click "Insert"

Then Save
Apply Configuration

i selected the linux host template and applied the configuration....

the host looks green now...
