Hello List, i have my nagios box in an internal network and i monitor "out to the world". Sometimes our internet connections is down for some minutes, and i get like 40 Mails with alerts.
Thats when the parent dependecy gets intresting. I read the docs to understand the differences. I am quite sure i want to use the child/parent structure in my case. Nagio-Box --> Router/Firewall --> A-FEW-Hosts I am running Ubuntu breezy with nagios 1.3-cvs.20050402-4ubuntu3.2. define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name service.server.de address service.server.de check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 20 notification_interval 5 notification_period 24x7 notification_options d,u,r parents provider-gateway } The exspected parent feature does not work though. If my internet connection fails, i still get a error msg for each host, instead from the parent "provider-gateway". What am i doning wrong?
