Description
With the current nagios configuration the checks for hosts under a firewall only work if we have a distributed nagios.
For these hosts we should use an approach similiar to what we do with services:
- If the host uses a nagios_server, do the same we currently do
- If the host doesn't use a nagios_server, create a cron entry that sends a passive host result with nsca (host OK)
- In the main nagios server, configure freshness check for passive host checks
- If a host result is not received in a given time (ie. 2 hours) mark the host as DOWN
