Notifications despite Dependencies

Icinga 2
21

I’ve completed creating service dependencies to the parent of the host (a router). The result is a DRAMATIC reduction in service down notifications. Icinga2 now behaves the way I expected it to with the default implicit service-to-host dependencies.

HI Ken,

thanks for your feedback!
If I understand correctly you now have:

  • the implicit dependency of a service to the host it belongs to (obviously :wink: )
  • a dependency for your hosts to a parent host (router)
  • PLUS a dependency for each service of each host to the parent host

I still can only guess the UNREACHABLE “state” of a host does not trigger the implicit dependency to its own services.
Not sure if this is by design or a bug, maybe someone of the Icinga crew knows an answer.

Hi !

I must confess i don’t have a valid answer for that but i asked my colleagues internally. So please stay tuned … we might answer quicker than expected.

Best

David
