Re: [Nagios-users] Parents on ubuntu
There is a much newer version of Nagios available, plus the version
you've reported appears to a CVS export, not a stable release.
Try downloading and compiling 2.6 from www.nagios.org and try again -
note you will possibly need to adjust your configs to suit Nagios 2.x,
but not by much.
Note you are also including "u" in your notification_options for the
host - this means that if the host is unreachable (ie. parent hosts are
down) you will still get a notification.
I'd set "notification_options d,r" in your generic-host template and
remove the override per host.

You've added "u" to the notification_options, explicitly telling Nagios
that you want it to notify you for hosts that are down even if its
parent is down as well. Hardly any users at all *really* wants "u" in
their notification_options.

[Nagios-users] Parents on ubuntu
Hello List,
i have my nagios box in an internal network and i monitor "out to the
world". Sometimes our internet connections is down for some minutes, and
i get like 40 Mails with alerts.
Thats when the parent dependecy gets intresting. I read the docs to
understand the differences. I am quite sure i want to use the
child/parent structure in my case.
Nagio-Box --> Router/Firewall --> A-FEW-Hosts
I am running Ubuntu breezy with nagios 1.3-cvs.20050402-4ubuntu3.2.
define host{
use generic-host ; Name of host
template to use
host_nameservice.server.de
address service.server.de
check_commandcheck-host-alive
max_check_attempts 20
notification_interval5
notification_period 24x7
notification_options d,u,r
parents provider-gateway
}
The exspected parent feature does not work though. If my internet
connection fails, i still get a error msg for each host, instead from
the parent "provider-gateway".
What am i doning wrong?
Thanks, Mario
