Disable Notifications on Services if host is unavailable

[MOHANREDDY]

I'm not sure if this has been asked before or not, and my googling has been fruitless. That being said, I'm trying to find a way to stop Nagios from sending messages for each failed service on a host if the host itself has failed. Currently when a host fails I get at least 15 messages (one for the host and one for each service associated with that host or its groups). This generates a fair amount of noise and it would be nice to be able to squelch some of this so that users and admins don't become complacent to the barrage of messages.

By default this would always be the case, but there are settings that override this behavior.

Can you share one of the service configurations that is doing this as well as any attached templates?
