Host Check Dependency..

[Mirza Dedic]

Hello,

I plan to use Host Check Dependency on my services... can someone please confirm that the below will do the following scenario: If Ping fails to the host machine (van-sql01) that is being monitored, Nagios will suppress the services listed in the dependent_service_description portion of the configuration...

define servicedependency{
        host_name                       van-sql01
        service_description             Ping
        dependent_host_name             van-sql01
        dependent_service_description   NSClient Version, Uptime, C - Disk Space, D - Disk Space, CPU Over 25min, Memory
        execution_failure_criteria      w,u,c
        notification_failure_criteria   w,u,c
}

Will this setup achieve that?

What if Nagios does not check PING first? Or will the setup above force for a ping check initially before checking these services? (If ping is still pending, will it wait until It gets the status of PING before checking these services and suppressing them incase PING has failed??)

Thanks.
