Bulk service check failures

[pratikmehta003]

Hi All,

Have a basic question... why does a notification get sent for each service when there is any connectivity issue between Nagios and the monitored device...for ex a Linux server monitored via NCPA agent...

Have a look at this line in nagios.cfg and see if it's commented.
#host_down_disable_service_checks=1

Thanks @gormank!

Let us know if you need further assistance.

so by making that change it will not send alert for any communication issues?

You would still get an alert when the host goes down (if you have the setup) but the associated services would not send alerts as long as the host is down.

Let me know if that helps clarify this setting.
