Hello, I plan to use Host Check Dependency on my services... can someone please confirm that the below will do the following scenario: If Ping fails to the host machine (van-sql01) that is being monitored, Nagios will suppress the services listed in the dependent_service_description portion of the configuration...
define servicedependency{ host_name van-sql01 service_description Ping dependent_host_name van-sql01 dependent_service_description NSClient Version, Uptime, C - Disk Space, D - Disk Space, CPU Over 25min, Memory execution_failure_criteria w,u,c notification_failure_criteria w,u,c } Will this setup achieve that? What if Nagios does not check PING first? Or will the setup above force for a ping check initially before checking these services? (If ping is still pending, will it wait until It gets the status of PING before checking these services and suppressing them incase PING has failed??)
