Nagios Notification Suppression For No Ping Host Services
<p>I've got numerous services on public internet hosts that are being monitored. The hosts are not pingable, so I use a no-check host definition with standard service checks.</p>

<p>In an effort to have intelligent notifications, preventing notifications when upstream networks are down, I have set parents for all hosts as appropriate. This maps out correctly, but I'm still flooded with alerts when a router goes down and takes out down stream services. </p>

<p>Nagios === RouterHostA === RouterHostB === No Ping Host w/services.</p>

<p>What do I need to do to prevent notifications for the services when RouterHostB is down. I presume that the issue is the no-check hosts staying up, but I thought Nagios would stop all checks on hosts and their service when the parent router goes down.</p>

<p>It kills me every time I get a 200 Problem and then another 200 Restored text messages.</p>
