Service dependent on host?

[rkane]

I am looking to create a dependency that works in the attached architecture

Services are applied at the Host Group level. I would like to set up a dependency that says "If any hosts in this host group are down, do not notify on their associated service(s)"

EX - Host1 is down / Host2 is up, service A,B,C on Host1 do not notify though service A,B,C on Host2 do

By default all services do not notify if their own host is down. This is the default behavior, so there is nothing extra to setup

Interesting...I must have some settings messed up then as I'm getting a number of "service unknown" emails before i get the "host down" email. Maybe I need to set a delay on the first service notification?

Or set max_check_attempts to something like 5

All hosts and services were at the default 5/1/5 for checks...going to try 5/1/6 for all services

Or set max_check_attempts to something like 5

You will want to also make sure "Is Volatile" is set to Off or skip in the CCM.

What version of XI are you running?

There were a few bugs in versions prior to 5.5.3 that could be related to this as well causing additional unexpected notifications.
