When a host is unreachable (f/ex due to wan failure), Nagios continues to do the service checks on that host. This produces a lot of service check failure, warning or unknown (depending on how the individual plugin behaves when the destination host does not answer at all). Service dependency helps a bit. But service checks that are scheduled after the wan failure, but before the 'dependant' service check, still display inappropriate results. <br> <br> </font><font face="Arial">What I would like to filter in the display is what Nagios already can do, but only for notifications :<br> - display only 'hard' states, and not 'soft' states<br> - don't display service checks results if the corresponding host is 'unreachable'</font><br> <font face="Arial"><br> I've been investigating this for a while. This problem has already been discussed on this list. It seems there's no solution, it's by design. Parent/child/unreachable logic is for hosts only, there's no such relationship between hosts and services, or between services.<br> <br> Maybe a smarter solution would have been to develop some event handlers and scripts, to automatically set the status of all service checks to 'unknown' if the host becomes 'unreachable', or if the 'dependant' service fails. But I don't have the Linux programming skills to do that. That's why I'm thinking about doing it under Windows.<br> <br> If something already exists to do that filtering, this would avoid re-inventing the wheel just for displaying results the way I need them<br> <br> Thank you for answer.
