Hi All

Can you please help me with seeting up service dependincies in Nagios

I created below service dependency.
It doesn't seem to be working as expected, I am still being notified about search-action on hostname1 when the dependent service blank-search on hostname2 is critical

sudo cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/dependencies.cfg
define servicedependency{
host_name hostname1
service_description search-action
dependent_host_name hostname2
dependent_service_description blank-search
execution_failure_criteria n
notification_failure_criteria w,u,c
}

Below is where i definded service checks

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/websites.cfg
define service {
service_description blank-search
use generic-service
check_command check_http!-H hostname2 -u url -p 8080 -t 25 -w 20 -c 25
host_name hostname2

}

define service {
service_description search-action
use generic-service
check_command check_http!-H hostname1 -u url -p 8080 -t 25 -w 20 -c 25 -s "book results"
host_name hostname1
}

you have the hosts/services backwards
try this

Code: Select all

define servicedependency{
host_name hostname2
service_description blank-search
dependent_host_name hostname1
dependent_service_description search-action
execution_failure_criteria n
notification_failure_criteria w,u,c
}

hostname1/blank-search is dependent on hostname2/blank-search
