Re: [Nagios-users] How to surpess notifications if ping fails.
For some reason notifications are not being sent from nagios when i unplug
the network cable from one of the hosts being monitored.
Nagios recognizes that the hose is down but no notification...
[1246567497] HOST ALERT: psefilesrv;DOWN;SOFT;1;(No Information Returned

Here is the host config...
define host{

alias misc
address10.139.68.39
usegeneric-host
check_command check_alive
notification_optionsd,r
max_check_attempts 3
check_interval 1
notification_interval 1
notification_period 24x7
notifications_enabled 1
parentsswitch-office
}
And the command...
define command {

command_line/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w
3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,100% -p 5
}
Any thoughts to why this isn't working? Email notifications for other
services is working fine. Maybe i need to add check_alive as a service?
Thanks,
JJ

[Nagios-users] How to surpess notifications if ping fails.
Hello,
I have a working nagios2 installation under Ubuntu. I would like to
configure nagios so that when a host cannot be ping'd by nagios all other
services related to this server/s are stopped so I don't get a slew of
notifications for that host.
I'm thinking i want servicedepency directive in my dependecies.cfg file?
Does this sound about right?
define servicedependency{
hostgroup_name servers
service_description ping
dependent_hostgroup_nameservers
dependent_service_description *
execution_failure_criteria w,c
notification_failure_criteria w,u,c
}
Thanks,
JJ

[Nagios-users] ping dependency
For some reason I'm having a hard time understanding exactly how
dependencies work.
What I'm trying to do is create a service dependcy that will halt
notifications of any number of servers file if that host cannot be pinged.
Can anyone assist?
Here is the required basic syntax of a basic servicedependency definition in
nagios2.
define servicedependency{
host_name
service_description
dependent_host_name
dependent_service_description
}
Much appreciated,
Jeremiah
