disable service checks when a host is down

[doneil326]

hello i saw this post which shows this feature is already available https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... =20&t=9729 but i dont understand how to enable it? Right now when our hosts are down all of the services still page out. How do we set it up so that this is not the case? that we only get paged on the host down event?

You would have to edit your nagios.cfg file and add the following option.

Code: Select all

host_down_disable_service_checks=1

Take a look at this link for more details.
