Does nagios (3.0.3) mark a child host as unreachable when its parent enters a soft down state? I am finding myself getting repeated down messages for a host (which is, in fact, down), even though I have notifications set to only send a single message. Looking at the logs, it would appear that what is happening is that the host is flipping between "down" (which notifies me) and "unreachable" (which does not). The parent host, however, never enters a hard down state. Looking at the logs, what I see is that one ICMP check fails, throwing the host into a soft down state, but the next one works just fine, bringing it back to an up state.
The logic works fine for the parent host- since it never hits a hard down state, it doesn't alert, and everyone is happy. But apparently with the child host every time this happens, it switches from critical to unreachable and back again, triggering a notification. Is there any way to keep this from happening?
