Dependancies between host and services

[Gabes Jean]

Hi,

 

I'm running Nagios 2.5. I've got a lot of distant servers and the
network is not very... reliable :)

So in a distant place, all servers are child from a router, so if I lost
the router, I don't have 50 alerts, just one host alert. It's done by
parent/child relationship.

 

The only problem is that the dependency is done in a host level. So,
when I lost network, I receive one Host notification, but 50x5
notifications for service timeout. I want to make a relationship between
services of a host, and it's status:

If the host is unreachable, don't check the services of this host.

 

I can had a service check to see if the host is alive and make all
service of the host dependant of this service, but I already do it in
host check and doing this for all my server and my services is not
maintainable. 

 

Is there a easy way (for a lot of servers and services) for doing such a
dependency? External commands maybe but I can't see how.

 

Thanks a lot.

 

 

Jean
