Hi Marc, thank you for mail. I do not understand if I have in dependencies.cfg
define hostdependency{ host_name FIREWALL dependent_host_name SERVER notification_failure_criteria d,u } and nagios does not report any problem when restarted ( what means conf. is correct ) and if I push FIREWALL host to be DOWN - and this state is correcly stated via nagios web interface, why host SERVER is still up and " green". I expect if FIREWALL is down that means all hosts depndent on it should be represented different that OK ( down, unrechable... ) In nagios.cfg I have enabled enable_predictive_host_dependency_checks=1 enable_predictive_service_dependency_checks=1 The same I have when I set up ( commneting above hostdependency ) in dependencies.cfg define servicedependency{ host_name FIREWALL service_description PING dependent_host_name SERVER dependent_service_description Remote Desktop execution_failure_criteria w,c,u notification_failure_criteria c,w,u } and then disable ping to FIREWALL, Remote Desktop service on SERVER is still UP, nothing is changed Any comment is welcome Thank you in advance, Nice regards, Arlytex On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 8:42 PM, Marc Powell<m...@ena.com> wrote: > > On Aug 18, 2009, at 1:25 PM, arly arly wrote: > >> 2009/8/18 Marc Powell <m...@ena.com> > >>> Did the *host* status change to critical or just the service status? >> >> Host status changed, when I browse it over web " host detail ---> >> host " it is >> represented as DOWN. > > The 'firewall' host showed down, right?
