Services are dependent on the host they run on?

[Martin Hugo]

Hi Robi,

I have never done it but I know you can make hosts/services children that will not report if the parent is down.

Hope this puts you on the right track.

Hi all.

Some time ago, I've installed and configured nagios to monitor our IT 
infrastructure.

It works very well and we're happy with it.

There's still one problem though:
When a host goes down, nagios sends notifications not only for host 
down, but also for all services running on that host. When a host goes 
down, I would like nagios to only send notifications about the host 
down, and not for all the services running on that host.

How can I achive that?
May it be a configuration error from my side? I thought that to nagios, 
services would be dependent from the host running them..

Any hint/advice/guidance is very welcome.

Thank you and best regards.

Robi
