You can use the negate plugin to alter the return code of the check.
I am not sure it will give you what you want, but you may try and alter
the UNREACHABLE to DOWN with that plugin.

If it will work, then the state will remain as you want and allow you to
track the downtime

Hi!
I have a problem with monitoring some devices. We have installed them
at end users and of course, we want to monitor them too. But not all
of these users are using devices as they should.
Therefore, we want to know, how long are some devices disconnected
from network. If elapsed downtime is greater than x days, we bring
them back.
So, the problem... installed devices are behind a router and when the
router goes down, connected devices' state changes from DOWN to
UNREACHABLE in Icinga. After fixing provider's problem, devices' state
changes again to DOWN (because parent-child relationship). But when it
happens, the downtime counter gets reset and then it seems that
connected devices were used.
It is possible to prevent counter reset when parent host goes DOWN
(prevent child host to get UNREACHABLE)? Unfortunately, I can't delete
parent-child configuration and caching is also not feasible.
Thanks for any advice!
Best regards,
Gergo
