Howdy,
I might have stumble into a bug involving notification of dependant
services.
Situation:
Primary service: check if a serial interface is up
Dependant service: latency to location connected by that interface
Scheduled downtime for the primary service. Interface goes down during
the scheduled downtime, Nagios sees this and doesn't send out any
notifications.
Service check for the dependant service runs(ping remote location) and
it times out. Nagios failed to "understand" that the primary service
was in a scheduled down state and sent out a notification that the
service check "latency to remote location" timed out.
~~~
Shouldn't Nagios see the primary service as down and not bother sending
out notifications for the dependant service?
Or
If I schedule downtime for a service, do I also need to schedule
downtime for all the dependant services?
Third option being I have something fubar'd. Here is what I have defined.

I am using Nagios version 1.0b6.
Any questions or ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
