when send notifications and when not...

[mcaceres]

Hi all,

I have a Nagios Core 3.2.3 installed on a CentOS 6.2 system. It work without problem, but i want more customize notifications... for example: if i have a router core, and behind this router have like 100 servers... when the router core go down i get like 100 notifications on my mail.

Is there a chance to configure notifications for check first "if router core is up, then send notification for one server" or "if router core is down, send notification for router and no for servers"

I hope you can help me

Sorry my bad english


thanks in advance

Oh my, you should thoroughly investigate the parenting features in Nagios:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... ility.html
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... .html#host

This allows you to tell Nagios which device is the next hop towards Nagios so that it can take care of all that pesky reachability logic.
