Hi,
Here is hopefully a more clear explanation of the problem I posted last night.
I have configured dependancies to suppress notifications when the master
dependency is not OK or WARNING and while I am finding they work in suppressing
command execution, notification suppression doesn't seem to be happening as the
alerts keep coming for them.
This is an example of the problem:
Setup:
Apache_Webhits service depends on Apache_Status service being OK or WARNING for
both execution and notification
Apparent order of events:
1. Apache_Webhits returned UNKNOWN because apache was probably down
2. Apache_Status soon goes CRITICAL because it definitely is down alright
3. Nagios stops further execution of Apache_Webhits
4. In the GUI I turn off notifications for Apache_Status for that server until
the problem is fixed.
Problem: Apache_Webhits continues to send out notifications that it is CRITICAL
though I would have expected the behavior to suppress further notification, but
it clearly is just sending notifications as usual. Is that expected behavior?
Based on my understanding I would thing further notifications would cease in
this case.
My configs:
One this that I did that was unusual mas making a service dependency template
to try to streamline my services.cfg so I didn't need to use a
dependencies.cfg. It seemed to work just fine but I am mentioning it because it
doesn't seem to be explicitly documented. Here is the template:
define servicedependency {
name generic-dependency
execution_failure_criteria c,u,p
notification_failure_criteria c,u,p
inherits_parent 1
register 0
}
and here is the example described above:
# Apache_Webhits
define service{
use standard-app-service
hostgroup_name Apache
service_description Apache_Webhits
servicegroups Apache_Webhits
check_command check_webhits_nrpe
}
define servicedependency {
use generic-dependency
hostgroup_name Apache
dependent_service_description Apache_Webhits
service_description Apache_Status
}
