Nagios Support Forum

Yes, it works. Nagios will now allow, however, dependent_servicegroup_name key if no dependent_host_name is defined and you have to make a 1 to 1 service dependecy for every host: from a single service dependency I now have (for 4 dependent services) 8 service dependencies in the configs.

And adding more hosts requires some work, where the initial solution makes the operation very easy.

Bye, Dario

The host/service group dependency thing looks a lot like my post/bug: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... =7&t=28200

I would agree, it looks similar, but probably not identical. Same family of bug and area of the code though, almost definitely! I know post ndo changes, which isn't too far off, back to core he goes, and I would be happy to prod him a bit on this one.

Sorry for the late response, didn't have much time to spend on the matter. Anyway, it works if I put the 2 directives you pointed out, but doing so I'll have to define every single dependency, and that's a huge work to do and keep updated.

Yeah, though it may be the only feasible way to do this atm.
