By default, the hostalive check is the only check available to determine if a Host is up. And, you then apply multiple service checks under each host.
What I would like to do is apply a number of my Service checks directly to the Host, ie not as Service checks. For example, if SSH, FTP, or the host is non pingable, I want the Host to be marked as down, rather than just the Service being down. This would greatly clean up the monitoring intrerface. The reason for this is because when a host is down, I get 15 service check failures for the same host before the host is finally marked down. I realize I can drop the limts on 'hostalive', but then this increases the false-positives. Applying multiple checks to determine if a host is up is the direction I'd like to go in. Is there a way to do this, without writing a custom check_command? I was thinking you could apply mulitiple check_commands directly under the Host definition, but each just overwrites the previous. And there is not an "Apply HostCheck for" syntax available. What are my options here? Thanks
