service deps & recovery

[Tom De Cooman]

Using a lot of checks through NRPE for all hosts, we implemented a
general check_nrpe, one that just checks wether NRPE is listening on the
host, and let all the other checks using NRPE depend on this one.

Service dependency example: 


define servicedependency{
   host_name                       servername
   service_description             Check NRPE
   dependent_service_description   Load
   execution_failure_criteria      o
   notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c
}


The service dependency does work as, when the NRPE daemon goes down, we
only get a message saying that 'Check NRPE' is down. The other checks go
critical but no notification is sent out.

Problem is that when the NRPE on the host-to-be-checked is functional
again, we notice that some of the checks where a service dependency has
been applied do not recover, they remain in the 'critical' state.
The check returns to an OK-state only after we manually scheduled an
active check for it.

Nagios version we are using is 3.03
Same issues with previous versions noticed (3.01)

Anyone noticed any similar issues, or am I missing smth in the config?
