Host notifications do not work when dependencies are enabled

[Campisi, Joseph]

Hi All,

 

I'm having a problem with host notifications and host dependencies.  

 

If I do NOT have any dependencies defined, host notification works
properly. As a test I brought down host navgw1.

 

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;SOFT;3;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;SOFT;4;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;HARD;5;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST NOTIFICATION:
networkservices;navgw1;DOWN;host-notify-by-sound;CRITICAL - Plugin timed
out after 10 seconds

HOST NOTIFICATION:
networkservices;navgw1;DOWN;host-notify-by-pager;CRITICAL - Plugin timed
out after 10 seconds

HOST NOTIFICATION:
networkservices;navgw1;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;CRITICAL - Plugin timed
out after 10 seconds

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;C: Drive Space;CRITICAL;HARD;1;Socket timeout
after 10 seconds

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;smtp;CRITICAL;HARD;1;Socket timeout after 10
seconds

 

HOST ALERT: navgw1;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.69 ms

HOST NOTIFICATION: networkservices;navgw1;UP;host-notify-by-sound;PING
OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.69 ms

HOST NOTIFICATION: networkservices;navgw1;UP;host-notify-by-pager;PING
OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.69 ms

HOST NOTIFICATION: networkservices;navgw1;UP;host-notify-by-email;PING
OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.69 ms

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;C: Drive Space;OK;HARD;1;C:\ - total: 8.42 Gb -
used: 1.85 Gb (22%) - free 6.57 Gb (78%)

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;smtp;OK;HARD;1;SMTP OK - 0 second response time

 

(both notifications for down and recovery work fine)

 

 

If I have a host dependency defined, I did the same test bringing host
navgw1, and I do NOT get notified.

 

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;SOFT;1;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;SOFT;2;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;SOFT;3;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;SOFT;4;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

HOST ALERT: navgw1;DOWN;HARD;5;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after 10
seconds

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;C: Drive Space;CRITICAL;HARD;1;Socket timeout
after 10 seconds

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;smtp;CRITICAL;HARD;1;Socket timeout after 10
seconds

 

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;smtp;OK;HARD;1;SMTP OK - 0 second response time

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;C: Drive Space;OK;HARD;1;C:\ - total: 8.42 Gb -
used: 1.85 Gb (22%) - free 6.57 Gb (78%)

SERVICE ALERT: navgw1;smtp;OK;HARD;1;SMTP OK - 0 second response time

 

 

Does anyone have any idea?  Here is an example of my cfg files.

 

Thanks,

Joe

        }

 

define host{

        use             generic-host

        host_name       navgw1

        alias           navgw1

        address         10.10.10.10

        parents         fmvip

}

 

define hostdependency{  

        dependent_host_name     navgw1

        host_name                       fmvip

        notification_failure_criteria   d,u,o
