Service notifications on problem hosts

[wezelboy]

Hi-

I'd like a clarification on notification filter logic.

If a host goes down and a host down notification gets sent out, will all service notifications for services on that host be suppressed?

Thanks in advance!

as far as I understand it will

Yes they will be suppressed as the Host for the Services is unreachable. You were correct stijnB.

Is there a simple way to change this behavior, other than tinkering with notification intervals?

Thanks!

Probably the best and possibly only way to do this would be this:

set host check to "check-dummy 0"
create a ping service check, if you still wish to have an uptime esque graph.
if you wish services to go down when host is down, set all services except ping, to be dependent on ping check.
Otherwise regardless of the host state, as it will never change, the service checks will still go through.

Does that make sense for what you are attempting to do?

[wezelboy]

Yes, that makes perfect sense.

Thanks!
