RE: a Question about a down host

Good morning,

	Yeah, once a service fails a check, one check, regardless of
max_check_attempts Netsaint immediately checks the host using the host check
command and hammers that until max check attempts.  If the host is down,
then it squelches service notifications.

hope that helps,
dean

Subject: [netsaint] a Question about a down host


I an running NetSaint 0.0.7b3

I am trying to answer why we did get notified when a server crashed and
burned. I am suspecting that the hostchecks are taking precedence over any
service checks. 

here is what happened
   a server went down, netsaint detected this, but did not send out
notifications. The server was not in a hostgroup but did have a valid
service check. If there was a valid service check why didn't a
notification get sent out for the outage?
