Service checks would still be run when the host is down though. If you don't want them to run then I think you need to define a servicedependency for those services, making them dependent on a master service that monitors the host state and setting the execution_failure_criteria to the failure state of the master service. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
