Hey,
I've been reading the documentation, experimenting, and still no luck. I was
wondering, is it possible to 'easily' declare service dependancies in this
scenario:
- I have over 20 linux servers, each one has nrpe installed
- in addition, there are 5+ w2k servers with nrpe
- each of those 20 servers has currently 6 checks done via nrpe.
- the nrpe checks are declared using host groups
Of course, if nrpe does not respond, each failed service check via nrpe fails
also. So often times, if the server is under a heavy load, or nrpe has
problems, I get 6 notifications for each server.
Now, is there an easy way to declare dependancies, that would say:
- if nrpe does not respond on host X, do not perform any checks for the given
host X. Do the same for each host in <hostgroup>. -
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
PS) I've already tried using * for hosts/and or services in the dependancy
declarations. I ended up with a "dependancy hell", where with 20 hosts and 6
services I had over 120 dependancies. service Y would be dependant on each
service of every host. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
