Hi all, my nagios system monitors some servers behind firewal, and sometimes happens that firewall is not reachable due to some network problem. All checks are delivered thru firewall.
I am monitoring firewall too, and I am just checking PING to it and rount trip time with define service{ use test host_name firewall service_description PING check_command check_ping!200.0,40%!400.0,50% } I read all information at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html about dependencies and in /etc/conf.d I created dependencies.cfg with define hostdependency{ host_name firewall dependent_host_name host_behind_firewall notification_failure_criteria d } with this I want to stop checkig ( and get just one notification about failure ) of host(s) behind firewal in case it is not possible to ping firewall . Then I blocked ping on firewall and it showed as DOWN via nagios web, but still I am getting correct information about "host behind firewall", but I am expecting to get inforormation that all is stoped as checking host behind firewall depends on firewall availibility. This is just simple scenario, I need to stop all checks in case connection to firewall does not works. I someone know what I should check more, please write Thank you in advance for help Arlytex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
