now I’ve put another host in, and didn’t give any service to monitor, just to see if the new host is being up/down/unreachable, but in 16 hours nothing happend, the host is still pending (In the Host Status Details For All Host Groups)
the solution of erasing the check_command works quite fine (that’s how we’ve managed for a long time).
But a better solution is to add the line:
enable_active_checks 0
in your define host {}
=> it’s pretty much the same, but you’ll have a nice icon in your interface (ok, not so nice: just a red cross). But nagios will know that it doesn’t have to check and moreover: schedule the check of this host
