Host/Service Dependencies

[jronin]

I have a host with three services. The host and services are set to check every minute. I would like to create a dependency that if the host or ping is in a down/unknown state the services will not alert.

So you would like ping to not alert you when it goes down? Or if ping is down you would like no notifications for any of the services under that host?

I was able to solve my issue by changing the state notification on the services. As all checks are set to one minute I set ping to alert on warn and the rest of the services to alert on warn/crit. This allowed me to have a single up/down e-mail when the host reboots/shuts down and still notify when one of the services has an issue.

Ah! Thanks for replying with your solution.
