servicedependencies and recovery alerts

[robelix]

Hi,

I've got some troubles with service dependencis - resulting in too many 
recovery alerts being sent.

A short example:
Service B and C depend on Service A. (mostly stuff like nrpe)
So I defined dependencies:

define servicedependency{
         name                            a-deps
         host_name                       myhost
         service_description             A
         dependent_host_name             myhost
         execution_failure_criteria      u,c
         notification_failure_criteria   u,c
         register                        0
}
define servicedependency{
         use                             a-deps
         dependent_service_description   B
}
define servicedependency{
         use                             a-deps
         dependent_service_description   C
}


It works with Problem Alerts.
A is checked more often, so when they all fail I usally get only the 
alert for serivce A.

But when they recover I always get recovery alerts for A, B and C.
Since I've got up to 25 dependent services on some hosts it can turn 
into an sms-flooder.

Any ideas how to get rid of these additional recovery alerts. I want to 
get a recovery alert, but only the one for A.
