I suppose there is a slight misunderstanding here, as I am very happy with the current host_notification situation (either parent or dependencies). > I suggest not using dependencies at all, but instead using the "parents" > directive and removing 'u' from your host_notification_options.

It's almost always the > wrong thing to use for hosts. The real problem is WITH services, if a parent host ping, for example, is critical, I get service alert for hosts that behind the parent host. But if the parent host is down, no alerts are sent for hosts behind the parent (works like a charm). To rephrase the original issue, how should I change the dependencies.cfg, if I really don't want to get any service alerts for dependedent services, if all services rely on the ping status of a parent host PING service? -Miika ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
