After searching both google and to the extent I was able to the archive (it kept timing out when I'd run a search). I'm asking these two questions to the list.
It's my understanding that if nagios can not talk to a service, it then checks to see if the host running the service is up. If the host is down as well, and the host has a parent defined it will then check to see if the parent is running. It will keep following it up the chain and send unreachable notifications for the children and a down for the parent closest to nagios that is down. I turned off unreachable notifications, but nagios thinks that some of the children are in a "down" state while a couple of them say "unreachable". Why does nagios consider some "down" and some "unreachable" (they are all using the same template only thing different is there name's and addresses and the parents have the same template as well). Why does nagios still send notifications for the children? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
