Unaviable treatment?

[welkin]

Just a few Questions:

How and when are Hosts treated unaviable? And on base of which Item are they treated unaviable? When the agent does not response, or when they're not pingable? Can i change the Item on which they are treated unaviable?

thanks in advance,
welkin

How and when are Hosts treated unaviable?

Please see my comments in ' Windows "status" item 1.1.6'. Alexei could answer this better, but as far as I know, this is how it works.
