Hello David
Welcome to Icinga.
Let me start by pointing out that this mailing list is rarely active and
hence you may not get much response here, your best approach in the
future is either the IRC channel on freenet #icinga , or the official
on-line forum https://community.icinga.com/
But to answer your query, the dependency is incorrect, you stated that
all hosts are dependent on the BigTown ( i.e master ) and thus you will
always get notifications.
You may want to change your dependency to be like this :
apply Dependency "LittleTown" to Host {
parent_host_name = "LittleTown.int.example.com"
disable_checks = true
disable_notifications = true
assign where host.notes == "LittleTown" && host.name !=
"LittleTown.int.example.com"
}
That way the hosts are dependent on the Router and not the Master.
Regards

Greetings. Relatively new Icinga2 user here having trouble with
notifications that a dependency should squelch.
Icinga2 is monitoring systems at two locations, BigTown and LittleTown.
The Icinga2 system is in BigTown.
Upstream connectivity at LittleTown is a little flaky, and I'd like to
be notified only when Icinga2 can't see the LittleTown router, not all
the systems behind it.
Problem is, I'm getting notifications for all the LittleTown systems,
not just the remote router, when LittleTown connectivity goes out.
What's wrong in this setup?
#BigTown router
object Host "BigTown.int.example.com" {
import "generic-host"
address = "172.31.0.1"
notes = "BigTown"
vars.os = "OpenBSD"
vars.notification["mail"] = {
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
}
}
# LittleTown router
object Host "LittleTown.int.example.com" {
import "generic-host"
address = "172.31.1.1"
notes = "LittleTown"
vars.os = "OpenBSD"
vars.notification["mail"] = {
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
}
}
#LittleTown host
object Host "ap0.int.example.com" {
import "generic-host"
address = "172.31.1.11"
notes = "LittleTown"
vars.notification["mail"] = {
groups = [ "icingaadmins" ]
}
}
# make LittleTown hosts children of BigTown router
apply Dependency "BigTown" to Host {
parent_host_name = "BigTown.int.example.com"
disable_checks = true
disable_notifications = true
assign where host.notes == "LittleTown" && host.name !=
"LittleTown.int.example.com"
}
There are lots more hosts in LittleTown, and they all send notifications
whenever the LittleTown link goes down.
What's wrong here, and how can I get notifications for only the
LittleTown router?
Many thanks!
