When the parent service goes down, nagios continues to check and notify about child services: define service{ use generic-service,24x7,infrastructure,check3 hostgroups windows service_description service-nscp check_command check-nrpe-win-service!$HOSTADDRESS$!nscp servicegroups nscp } define service...

Oh, that's a good perspective. I leaned toward check_smb_file because I am checking a windows cluster drive. I can still hit the underlying cluster IP with NSClient++ though. Good tip!

Yes, it's all windows.

Thanks for the tip on the negate wrapper. Will look into that.

I'm trying to alert if files ending in .pgp2 exist in this location. However, all I can figure out how to do is alert when files do NOT exist:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_smb_file -H 10.20.33.129 -f '/narf' -F '.*\.pgp2'

Can anyone think of how to do this?

Thanks!

I'm still curious on the parents directive for services. It's not working as expected on 4.0.8.

Here's the working config: define servicedependency{ hostgroup_name z-allhosts service_description service-nscp dependent_service_description services-all-auto execution_failure_criteria n notification_failure_criteria w,u,c } define hostgroup { hostgroup_name z-allhosts members .* }

What version of Nagios Core are you using? Sorry, should have put this in my original post. 4.0.8 As far as getting service dependencies to work, I think I know how to do it. To get around explicitly putting every host in there, I can create a hostgroup and glob in all the hosts, then put this host...

I was trying to get the parents directive to work for services but figured out that this bug still exists since April of 2014? http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=562 Since that appears to be the case, I am trying a service dependency instead. I simply want to ensure that any services that depend ...

0.4.1 is a lot better.

Thanks for looking into this. Interesting that the version is flagged as stable when it clearly has issues.
