Hi Assaf I found some links to support your answer :-)

The documentation for both Icinga and Nagios have pretty much the same words, but whereas the parameter is called "parents", the examples all use a single parent (parents switch01), instead of multiple parents (parents switch01,switch02) The first link above has a response questioning the logic of a configuration with multiple parents defined (AND or OR). In the second link I see the logic should be taken as OR for the multiple parents: > Within a host declaration Nagios allows you to define a list of parent hosts. > Nagios assumes then that the host is only reachable if at least one of those > parent hosts is reachable. Such a definition could look like this: > /etc/nagios/conf.d/hosts.cfg > > define host { > use default > host_name dns01 > alias DNS Server 1 DMZ > address 10.0.34.18 > parents sw01,sw02 > } /Simon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
