<BR>
[I’ve seen a few emails on this group about nagios 2.0.....but cannot find the software itself anywhere!? Any pointers? Has this tool died-a-death in terms of development?]<BR>
<BR>
Now, the real reason for my email. My struggle with service dependancies.<BR>
<BR>
I’m running a distributed monitoring system where remote-servers send their host/service checks back to a central server for processing. Prior to any host or service notifications being sent out, I want to ensure that the reason for the notification being sent ISN’T due to a DNS-lookup problem of the hosts name. (all my config files use DNS names for the host_name).<BR>
<BR>
Any clues on how to do this? All I can gather from the documentation is that you can do this on a host-by-host basis, but not as a general thing.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
<BR>
Ian<BR>
