Item cannot be disabled because of dependent relationships

More like a feature request here.

Even if it doesn't happen that often, honestly it's pretty annoying to have a clickable Enable/Disable option in CCM that doesn't work half the time.

I know I can find the dependancy using the following command:

Code: Select all

grep -R 'name' /usr/local/nagios/etc/
However, it's annoying to have to go through ssh (search notes for command syntax, etc.) every time.

If CCM Enable/Disable toggle function can't handle dependencies (e.g. comment out with a particular tag, or move lines from servicename.cfg to servicename.cfg_disabled or something so it's not lost in case you re-enable later), it would be much nicer to at least mention the dependency name so we don't need to go through ssh every time to find it.

I'm also thinking of people having CCM access, but no ssh access, who need to ask another dept to find the name for them when this happen.

Thanks.
