Hey nagios people, Assume I have a happy system of a hypervisor and virtual machines. Further, there's a neat system of when a machine goes down an SMS and email is sent to the responsible person.
However, when the parent machine goes down, all the VMs (for obvious reasons) send out a "Oh Noes!" message as well. This is not wanted. Now the nagios documentation, dating back from the netsaint days, says the system to walk a dependency path using parent_host... however the hosts.cfg has entries like the following: define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name guestvm1 alias guestvm1 address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx parents xendom0 check_command check-host-alive } Now presumably, cgis like statusmap.cgi is built from this information. Would changing 'parents' to 'parent_map' in the above fix the dependency walk and notifications? And would it break statusmap.cgi?
