servicedependency problem

[Gaertner, Joern]

Good Morning,



the nagios version is 3.0.6.



Thanks a lot for the hint! Now it works with:

        execution_failure_criteria     o
        notification_failure_criteria  n



Quite tricky in my case was the fact that there have been other dependencies for the same service checks trickering its execution.



I think the service depencies can really be a nightmare.



Is there any better way to view them apart from the config dependency view in the webfrontend?



Thanks



Jörn

Jorn,
You haven't mentioned which version of Nagios is running so I'll assume it's 3.2.0 which is the same as mine...

I think I'd translate your servicedependency definition differently :-

"If functionality_LB is in w,c,u state don't do functionality_cl1 because
funcationality_cl1 relies on functionality_LB to be in a non warning,critical or unknown state for functionality_cl1 to work ?


define servicedependency {
        host_name                      s.test.com
        service_description            functionality_LB  <--- Parent
        dependent_service_description  functionality_cl1 <--- Child
        execution_failure_criteria     w,c,u
        notification_failure_criteria  w,c,u
        dependent_hostgroup_name       hg_test
}

Think of a parent-child relationship where a "child" check should only run if the "parent" is running ok. And if the "parent" is in a specific state (w,c,u) surpress the "child" check and also notifications. So functionality_LB is the parent and functionality_cl1 is the child in your case.

Hope that helps / makes sense.

Regards,
Deborah

Hi,

I have a problem with servicedendencies.

My config looks like this:

define servicedependency {
        host_name                      s.test.com
        execution_failure_criteria     w,c,u
        service_description            functionality_LB
        dependent_service_description  functionality_cl1
        notification_failure_criteria  w,c,u
        dependent_hostgroup_name       hg_test
}

If I am not wrong this should translate to:

Do always functionality_LB on s.test.com. If functionality_LB is in state w,c,u do functionality_cl1 on hg_test but  not if functionality_LB is in state OK.

But it doesn't work.

functionality_LB is in state OK.

If I go in the web frontend on the details for check functionality_cl1 I can see the last check is always less than 3 min ago and new cheks are always scheduled.

Does anyone know what is going wrong here?

Thanks

Jörn
