I’ve got a lot of distant servers and the network is not very… reliable :)<o:p></o:p> 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.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 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:<o:p></o:p> If the host is unreachable, don’t check the services of this host.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 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. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> 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.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks a lot.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Jean<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
