[Nagios-users] Service Dependencies and Scheduled Outage

[<nu...@ts...>]

If you schedule downtime for the parent service (ServiceA), do you still 
need to schedule downtime for all the child services as well (ServiceB, 
ServiceC)?  I believe I have tried setting only the parent, but based upon 
timing of service checks, a notification may still occur for the dependent 
services (ServiceB, ServiceC).  This leads to extraneous notification 
during downtime.

Nagios 2.0b2

define servicedependency {
    host_name                      server
    service_description            ServiceA
    dependent_host_name            server
    dependent_service_description ServiceB
    execution_failure_criteria     w,u,c
    notification_failure_criteria  w,u,c
    }

define servicedependency {
    host_name                      server
    service_description            ServiceA
    dependent_host_name            server
    dependent_service_description ServiceC
    execution_failure_criteria     w,u,c
    notification_failure_criteria  w,u,c
    }
 
Does Nagios check to see if a my parent is in a scheduled outage prior to 
sending a notification?
