Are Services Dependent on Hosts

[mkeey]

Tested this option out and it seems to work pretty good. Only caveat was timing. If a service check is performed before the host check the service goes warning/critical causing an extra notification.

Is there a way to prevent this?

@mkeey, I'd say the only way around this is to set the check interval for services significantly larger than the check interval for the host. That way the host would get checked first, get Soft Critical and that will automatically stop notifications on services.

Just in case anyone else is curious turning on this setting does not affect bpi hostgroup checks. I enabled the setting and still received an alert when bpi hostgroup health was below the critical threshold.

@jvaira, Thanks for sharing this with the forum users! Would you have any other questions for us before we lock this thread?

Support - thanks for the config file parameter. Works great except for the timing issue when a service is checked before the host. A little disappointing that the service isn't checked after a valid host result. I'm assuming that isn't an option.

Unfortunately you are correct, there is no way to do this.

Ok, maybe put this in as a wish/request? Then please close this case. Thanks for your help!
