Hello All,
I am sort of new to linux or nagios and trying to monitor services of my server with below configuration, which is working fine except sevice_dependency.
define host{
use generic-switch
host_name C06616134117
alias test
address xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
hostgroups test
}
define hostgroup{
hostgroup_name test
alias test
}
define servicedependency{
host_name C06616134117
service_description service1
dependent_host_name C06616134117
dependent_service_description service2
execution_failure_criteria c
notification_failure_criteria c
}
With default service template :
define service{
name generic-service ; The 'name' of this service template
active_checks_enabled 1 ; Active service checks are enabled
passive_checks_enabled 1 ; Passive service checks are enabled/accepted
parallelize_check 1 ; Active service checks should be parallelized (disabling this can lead to major performance problems)
obsess_over_service 1 ; We should obsess over this service (if necessary)
check_freshness 0 ; Default is to NOT check service 'freshness'
notifications_enabled 1 ; Service notifications are enabled
event_handler_enabled 1 ; Service event handler is enabled
flap_detection_enabled 1 ; Flap detection is enabled
process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data
retain_status_information 1 ; Retain status information across program restarts
retain_nonstatus_information 1 ; Retain non-status information across program restarts
is_volatile 0 ; The service is not volatile
check_period 24x7 ; The service can be checked at any time of the day
max_check_attempts 3 ; Re-check the service up to 3 times in order to determine its final (hard) state
normal_check_interval 10 ; Check the service every 10 minutes under normal conditions
retry_check_interval 2 ; Re-check the service every two minutes until a hard state can be determined
contact_groups admins ; Notifications get sent out to everyone in the 'admins' group
notification_options w,u,c,r ; Send notifications about warning, unknown, critical, and recovery events
notification_interval 60 ; Re-notify about service problems every hour
notification_period 24x7 ; Notifications can be sent out at any time
register 0 ; DONT REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL SERVICE, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
I want if my service2 is in critical state service1 should not be checked , however it is not happening.
Struggled a lot however I am unable to conclude what am I doing wrong.
I understand that hard state of service2 would be considered , however I understand "execution_failure_criteria " is not working in here at all.
I am using Nagios Core Version 4.2.1.
Regards,
Gaurang

Re: Service Dependency not working
There's a service parent issue in 4.2.1 that was fixed in 4.2.2. Please upgrade and let us know if that resolves your issue. Thanks!

Re: Service Dependency not working
In between would you please confirm if 4.2.2 resolves issue with "parents" command as well

Re: Service Dependency not working
Fantastic news! Sorry for the slow response. Time zone offset, I assume. That, or you work in the middle of the night! Is it ok if we lock this thread?
