Service marked down even though Host in a down status

[hbouma]

We are running Nagios 5.6.1 on 64bit Red Hat 7.6 VM's. We have the setting host_down_disable_service_checks=1 in our nagios.cfg file.

We had an issue where a Host Check failed at 9:03:56PM, and a service check started 16 seconds earlier. That service check timed out and send an alert and page out due to it being marked as a Hard Down.

Is there a way to catch issues like this to prevent unneccessary notifications? Situations where the host is marked down in the middle of a service check running, causing the service check to be marked as a Hard Down and alert?

There is no way to stop a service from notifying if the check started BEFORE the host went down. Once the check has started it must complete the whole process

Thanks.

I thought so, but wanted to check. Feel free to close the topic.
