Re: [Nagios-users] Services are dependent on the host they run on?

2011-05-26 Thread Frost, Mark {PBC}
Maybe I'm missing something but I thought that suppressing notifications for services on the same host when the host goes down is the default behavior. It's only when you have to suppress notifications from different hosts that you need host/service dependencies. Mark -Original Message--

[Nagios-users] Services are dependent on the host they run on?

2011-05-26 Thread Roberto Nunnari
Hi all. Some time ago, I've installed and configured nagios to monitor our IT infrastructure. It works very well and we're happy with it. There's still one problem though: When a host goes down, nagios sends notifications not only for host down, but also for all services running on that host.

[Nagios-users] 2-way alerting

2011-05-26 Thread Weiner, Michael

Strange, as i understand the documentation, nagios is suppose to do that. But maybe thats the fix andreas was talking about, if there is a bug in nagios? On Thu, 2011-05-26 at 09:57 -0400, Paul M. Dubuc wrote: > Because they HAVE been informed of the problem by earlier notifications, but > not t

I should have mentioned that whether this works depends on who the default, non-escalated, contacts are for the host or service. In your case, since you have last_notification set to 3, those contacts in your escalation will not get a recovery notification that is numbered 5 or greater unless t
