Hello list.

I understand the main idea behind service dependencies, to avoid
duplicated alerts for service A when another depended service B is down.
However, when this other service B is redunded by service C, how to
specify than A depends on (B or C) ?

AFAIK, the syntax specifying multiple host in a dependency relationship
doesn't imply any relationship between those host, but is just syntaxic
sugar for multiple declaration:

define servicedependency {
host_name B,C
service_description X
dependent_host_name A
dependent_service_description Y
}

is strictly equivalent to:
define servicedependency {
host_name B
service_description X
dependent_host_name A
dependent_service_description Y
}
define servicedependency {
host_name C
service_description X
dependent_host_name A
dependent_service_description Y
}
