Hello,

I have a Nagios setup and I am monitoring LAN/WAN servers/services including 
network devices, smb shares, squid service status, server pings, and our frame 
relay.

Now if my frame relay goes down between the two offices, obviously my Nagios 
will not be able to check the server and smb/squid services, now I get a 
warning message that it cannot reach the smb/squid/server/network, I want to 
just get a warning that it cannot reach the network and the rest suppressed.

I understand this can be done using service dependency, but I have also read 
that the way Nagios checks stuff is a little wacky, as in:

What if it checks the ping of a server before the network? It will report the 
ping is critical, then once the network is queued to be checked, it will report 
the network is down?

Which would kind of defeat the logic of a dependency check, anyone have any 
feedback as if this is still the case?

I remember reading it on the forum, which is why I did not go through with it 
when I initially configured it all.

But I am also trying to avoid 20 emails for 1 host that is down.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks!
