hello list I have an odd issue with service dependencies
I have 360 hosts with 2400 services in my nagios , and i thought i set up an "all encompassing" service dependency in order to get only one alert of a host goes down . define servicedependency{ host_name * service_description PING dependent_host_name * dependent_service_description * execution_failure_criteria c,u,w notification_failure_criteria c,u,w inherits_parent } In my calculation i should be having a list of 2400 dependencies and in the "show config- > service dependencies " it should generate a list of 4800 lines . However when testing nagios -v i get Checking service dependencies... Checked 968 service dependencies meaning that a large part of the hosts and service dependencies are not captured . I do have other dependencies for other services (snmp chekcs relaying on the snmp service being active) , and those are in the 968 . Can anyone tell me why this happens ? Should i declare the service dependencies for each host individually - that kind of beats the purpose of a * declaration in the host.
