I have some questions about dependencies. The setup I have a question about is very basic, it follows here: define host { use generic-host host_name router alias router address <a href="http://10.10.10.1">10.10.10.1</a> } define host { use generic-host host_name machine alias a generic server address <a href="http://10.10.10.2">10.10.10.2</a> parents router } What happens is the router will be marked as down (because we can't ping the address), but the machine is marked as up (because the router is still functioning and we can ping the machine). We'd like for the machine to be marked as down also, but it is not being marked that way. I tried having a: define hostdependency { host_name router dependend_host_name machine notification_failure_criteria d,u } but that doesn't work either. Is it possible in nagios, if so, what am I missing? Thanks -- Joshua Kayse Computer Engineering
