While it's not entirely clear, I think it's more complicated than
this. I interpret it as --
Internet
|
Head Office
|
Nagios ------ Remote Site
From his perspective, the remote site is still up no matter the
status of the head office, even though from a production standpoint
it's broken. Host dependencies and parenting won't work because the
status of the remote site is always OK. My only suggestion would be to
create a check that's run from Remote Site to the Internet that would
fail to know when it's broken. If the OP really needed to have the
status of all the services at that site show critical I think he'd
need to do something creative like disable active checks of those
services, and submit a passive CRITICAL result for them as part of an
event_handler. Do the opposite when the head office recovered... Icky
and my thinking may not be clear this morning...
