Hi,
just a question (sorry, I didn’t find a solution on google).
I’ve some host about which I’m not really interested if they’re up or down (while I’m interested about its services, like full disk). Can you tell me how turn off “critical” for selected hosts, in case of host unreachable?
Thanks for your time,
Marco
Hi Marco,
There’s a rulest ‘Host check command’ where you can select ‘always assume host to be up’ (or similar, I don’t remember exact wording).
BTW: beware not to talk about ‘unreachable’ hosts when you really mean ‘down’ hosts - UNREACHABLE is a host state when all its parent hosts (if any configured) are down.
HTH,
Marcel

Hi Marco,
There are many ways to achieve this, but the best option is to configure a rule for the selected hosts under ‘Host Check Command’ to always assume the host to be up. Keep in mind that you will not be able to check service state for a host that is not reachable, so if that’s the case you should also create a rule for the “Status of the Check_MK service” on the selected hosts. You can set the service state if conneciton issue etc to always be OK.
