service notifications when host is down?

[yunushaikh]

Hello experts,

I have a ping service configured for my particular host. Host check command is ping too.

I always notice that when host goes down and service also, that time only host notification is trigereed and service notification does not trigger from nagios,

Is it possible to get service notification as well as host notification in this case,

Thanks a lot

Can you post the host + service definitions for both of the objects for us to review?
