Service marked down even though Host in a down status
Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2019 7:08 am
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?
