Servicedependicy problem

[Mueller, Karl]

(You didnt send the full email, which in this case is OK, but in future emails, send more :) )

(Free hint) Try setting switch1 and switch2 as having a 'parent' of router (in the host definitions) instead of a host dependency.  That's separate from your problem, though.

The problem is: you need notification_failure_criteria set to 'c,u,w', not 'n'.

>From the documentation:

If you specify n (none) as an option, the notification dependency will never fail and notifications for the dependent service will always be sent out.

Hi,

I've set following dependencies to a few hosts:

define servicedependency{
        host_name                       router
        service_description             PING
        dependent_host_name             switch1,switch2
        dependent_service_description   *
        execution_failure_criteria      w,u,c   ; These are the criteria for 
which check execution will be supressed
        notification_failure_criteria   n       ; These are the criteria for 
which notifications will be supressed
        }

define hostdependency{
        host_name                       router
        dependent_host_name             switch1,switch2
        notification_failure_criteria   d,u
        }

The goal is that I don't want to get any alerts from hosts switch1 and 
switch2, if router is down or critical. With this configuration, if router is 
critical, I get this alert:

State: CRITICAL 
Date/Time: Wed Jun 16 10:58:15 EEST 2004 
Additional Info: CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10 seconds

and the same alert for both switch1 and switch2. Have I missed something in 
the depency configuration?
