It's supposed to do that automatically. Can you provide the relevant excerpts from the logfiles showing it hasn't done so? >>> 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 . >> This would add 360*360*(2400-$services_named_PING) dependencies. >> Assuming you have one PING service on each host, that's a total of >> 264384000 service-dependencies. *ALL* those dependencies would be >> circular, so this simply cannot be how you have configured Nagios. > > I hate to disagree , but this is the setting i have in my nagios and i do no > have the "264384000 " > dependencies . > It can't be, because then all PING services would depend on themselves which Nagios doesn't allow.
