Currently a Nagios BPI group will go to a CRITICAL state if the threshold is met because the services are either WARNING or CRITICAL.
I think it would make a lot of sense to make this customizable to only react to service problems that are CRITICAL.
Meaning that WARNING levels of services are ignored and won't result in the Nagios BPI to go CRITICAL.
In many cases a WARNING level means a degradation of the service but not necessarily an unavailability, which we try to model with the Nagios BPI groups.
Unfortunately the part of the source code where this logic resides is obfuscated in Nagios XI, otherwise I would have provided a patch myself.
I think the implementation would be straight forward and would only require one parameter in the config.
Kind Regards,
Helmut
