Stop Polling external check when host unreachable
I have several external checks I use a lot.
When a host goes off the network, these external checks still run. I would prefer if they simply did not run.
Is there any way to cause items not to poll when a host is unreachable, for example by a dependency on a ping trigger?
Note I do not want to check inside the external check, since by then it is already invoked and must return some value or timeout, all of which have side effects -- I want it to simply stop polling.
Is that possible?
Note: consider the question for Version 6.0, as I am migrating everything to that now.
