Nagios Support Forum

I was actually wondering about the exact same thing Dirk was thinking=

about! Such a shortcut would really help out in easing the use=

of dependencies.



Ethan's solution wouldn't work if you look at it logically. Why?=

Because you're telling Nagios that:

* All instances of service A in hostgroup X

* Depend on all instances of service B in hostgroup X.



Meaning that all instances of A will "fail" if -any- instance of=

B goes down. That's not what we want to happen, is it? :p



As Dirk said: it would be great if there was some shortcut for telling=

Nagios that you want all instances of service A in hostgroup X=

to be dependant of service B on -their-own- host. That way you=

could take care of all dependencies for a whole hostgroup in a=

matter of a few dozen lines of code.
