Well, it is possible that this changed with newer Nagios versions. It seems to be worth a try to verify - I will send another eMail as soon as I did so.

I didn't check this in our logic up to now because when we used nagios, nagios was doing it. Or at least I thought that it would do so. The question should have been: Why does the event handler trigger for services when their host is down? > > that's a very common case that eventhandlers get called even if the host > is down... > http://docs.icinga.org/latest/en/eventhandlers.html#execution > > and well - for the interested readers - why can't icinga handle the > notification logic itsself, and why are you using a proprietary event > handler wrapper for that? We wrote a frontend application for Icinga (formerly Nagios) where we can administer hosts and export configuration files for Icinga. In the same applications teams can be configured on a daily basis. The alerting itself is done in a round robin way and the alerts are all logged in our application. Therefore it was the easiest solution to write an own daemon application which does the alerting. > next time, please tell about that in the first place. makes error lookup > pretty hard if one thinks of notifications, but the user (you) is just > using eventhandlers. totally different part of the story. I accidentially messed up notification with event handler - I don't think this is a crime :P Denis
