Hi,
I'm currently monitoring many services on certain hosts via SNMP, and
making extensive use of host groups to ease configuration for my
several hundred hosts.
On occasion, the SNMP service on a host fails. This triggers dozens
of alarms. I would like to have each service checked via SNMP depend
on the base SNMP service, so that when SNMP fails I only get one
alarm. I investigated service dependencies, but they don't seem
amenable to hostgroup-friendly configuration.
If I do something like:
define servicedependency {
hostgroup_name NetSnmpServers
service_description Snmp
dependent_host_name NetSnmpServers
...
}
that obviously isn't going to work.
Surely other people have encountered this before? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
==ml
