Hi,
Is it possible if the host is down that i do NOT receive the 'service' problem/unknown email notifications for that host?

Hello
@charlie126
You can use host and service dependencies to suppress notifications when a master host/service is down. Please refer to the following documenation for configuration:
Host and Service Dependencies
https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ncies.html
There is also a system wide configuration setting in Nagios core to disable services checks when the corresponding host is down.
Define in
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg:
Code: Select all
host_down_disable_service_checks=1
Service Dependencies

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks Ben. Just to confirm the system wide 'setting host_down_disable_service_checks=1' disables the service checks for only the host that is down?

That is correct
