Hi list,

in my current icinga2 setup I’ve got several zones defined with configuration 
files synced, as described in the documentation for distributed monitoring:

https://www.icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/06-distributed-monitoring/#top-down-config-sync

for hosts monitored by remote nodes I can see that checks are being handled by 
the correct source, so that part seems to be working as expected. 

However, since the network connection to most of these remote zones can at 
times be unstable (they are located on offshore rigs connected via different 
wireless technologies) I frequently experience icinga2 reporting that the zone 
is not connected, via the “cluster-zone” check_command. The problem is that all 
the remote hosts that these remote icinga nodes are checking are treated as 
“DOWN” and not “UNREACHEABLE”, which is the desired behaviour, when the zone 
becomes disconnected. I have defined host dependencies which treats the remote 
icinga node as a parent for all the hosts they check, but that still doesn’t 
seem to solve the problem.
The problem with the checked hosts being reported as “DOWN” is that an alert is 
generated for each object, instead of just one alert for  the zone being 
unreachable 

Is this the correct behaviour?

the setup is running on Debian 8.x boxes with icinga 2.7.0-1

with regards,

morten
