DEPENDENCIES

[Deborah Martin]

Hi, 

I have dependencies working mainly fine. However, i'm still not 100%
satisfied that its behaving correctly. 

Using Nagios 2.0rc2 on suse 9.2 (i've used later releases for testing but
behaviour is the same) 

I have one main service which is a database connection plugin to ensure the
database is up and running. 
I have 3 additional dependency plugins which do various other checks such as
ram and disk usage. 

When the main database plugin check goes to warning or critical I want to
suppress email notifications on the 3 remaining checks as there is no point
in running these (they won't return anything useful apart from timeouts). 

However, this rarely happens. Usually, I get the main check email
notification plus 1 other email notification from one of the dependencies
(though it may not always be the same dependency) 

Is there something i'm missing here ? Why can't it supress all three as i
would expect ? Do i need to set a parameter setting somewhere ? 

My main plugin checks every 5 mins with the dependencies every 20 mins.
Should i change these timings to something different and if so why ? 

This is driving me somewhat insane and any pointers / help would be very
welcomed. 

regards,
deborah
