Maybe I'm missing something but I thought that suppressing notifications for services on the same host when the host goes down is the default behavior. It's only when you have to suppress notifications from different hosts that you need host/service dependencies. Mark -Original

Can the use of dependencies also be the cause of increased latencies? I too struggle with them and I'm running on lightly-loaded physical hardware. We have 2 servers doing the checks sending back to a central server. Both distributed nodes use ocsp/ochp, but they do nothing more than append
