host matrix color/status for acked/downtime on service.

3 votes

the current model for checkmk seems to be if a host has any particular service go into warning/critical state, the entire host goes to that same state (which is great in most cases), but if you ack the service problem/aert/state, the host (at least in the host matrix; I think also as an overall status) continues to be set to the warn./crit status.

so for pseudo logic, the current path seems to be something like.

hoststate=ok
if hostping !=ok, hoststate=critical
for each service, if servicestate!=ok, hoststate=servicestate

what I'd like to have is a new state for the host to be in - blue maybe? something else? it doesn't matter, but logic more like

hoststate=ok
if hostping !=ok, hoststate=critical
for each service,
if servicestate!=ok
if service in downtime hoststate=downok(purple?)
else if service acked hoststate=ackedok(lightblue?)
else hoststate=servicestate

specifically, I want to be able to use the hostmatrix as a dashboard type thing and not mask alerts
