Code: Select all

parents:
This directive is used to define a comma-delimited list of short names of the "parent" services for this particular service.
Parent services are typically other services that need to be available in order for a check of this service to occur.
For example, if a service checks the status of a disk using SSH, the disk check service would have the SSH service as a parent.
If the service has no parent services, simply omit the "parents" directive.
More complex service dependencies may be specified with service dependency objects.
