[Nagios-users] Service notifications when host is down

[Ben W. <Ben...@co...>]

Greetings all,

I had a problem this morning where a host was down but I received a service
notification. I have disabled host notifications altogether but I don't want
to know about a service being unavailable if a host is down. Below is from the
Alert History.

[04-21-2004 06:21:11] SERVICE ALERT: host-xxx;load;CRITICAL;HARD;1;CHECK_NRPE: Socket timeout after 10 seconds.
[04-21-2004 06:20:50] SERVICE ALERT: host-xxx;httpd processes;CRITICAL;HARD;1;Connection refused by host

\/ HOST DOWN ALERT HERE \/

[04-21-2004 06:20:50] HOST ALERT: host-xxx;DOWN;HARD;6;PING CRITICAL - Packet loss = 100%

<-- GOT NOTIFIED HERE -->

[04-21-2004 06:17:55] SERVICE ALERT: host-xxx;Load Combo check;CRITICAL;HARD;1;COMBO Connection refused by host - 
Connection refused by host - Connection refused by host - Connection refused by host - Connection refused by host - 
Connection refused by host - Connection refused by host -

Is there a setting I missed that will make sure the host is up before notifying
about service problems?

Regards,
Ben
