Hi, I just want to make sure I understand the logic here correctly before implementing it; basically my goal here is to "minimize" the amount of notifications that come through.
Right now, as an example I have in my definitions: My host cfg: define host{ use windows-server host_name van-mail01 alias van-mail01 address 172.16.4.10 } define service{ use generic-service host_name van-mail01 service_description Ping check_command check_ping!250.0,20%!500.0,20% } Then, many services configured for that box that check ports, service states, processes, disk space, memory, CPU., the standard stuff.. define service{ use generic-service host_name van-mail01 service_description Uptime check_command check_nt_up process_perf_data 0 } define service{ use generic-service host_name van-mail01 service_description C - Disk Space check_command check_nt_disk!C!95!98 } define service{ use generic-service host_name van-mail01 service_description D - Disk Space check_command check_nt_disk!D!95!98 } Well, if I can't ping Host A from my Nagios box, then the host is probably down or the network on which Host A is on is down, so I want to suppress notification for all the services on that host, and just receive one notice that "host a" cannot be pinged. Is this the correct method to accomplish this? define servicedependency{ dependent_host_name van-mail01 dependent_service_description Ping host_name host_name hostgroup_name van-mail01 service_description Uptime, C - Disk Space, D - Disk Space inherits_parent [0/1] # what should this be? execution_failure_criteria [o,w,u,c,p,n] # ?? notification_failure_criteria [o,w,u,c,p,n] # ?? } I want to only receive a Warning for van-mail01's Ping and suppress everything else since its going to be "unreachable/unknown/critical/down" if I can't ping the service.
