[Nagios-users] service dependency question

2007-10-04 Thread Paul Dugas 
I have a hostgroup defined for my application database servers.  I have
a service defined for the group that checks the database server process
itself.  I have additional services defined for the group that check the
space used and other validity tests in our various databases.  I'd like
to setup service dependencies so the individual database checks don't
happen when the main service isn't there.  Is there a way to avoid
having to enter all the service dependencies individually?  With a dozen
hosts and half a dozen databases on each one, it's getting ugly and
error prone.

I asked a simelar question about services which use SSH to run plugins 
on remote hosts, depending on a check for SSH.  Here is that thread so 
far:

The one addition I have to this topic, is the possibility of using a 
script to automate the creation of individual service dependencies, given 
a set of hosts and services which you want to depend on your database 
process.  This is also something I'm looking into, I know others are using 
something like this.


Thanks,

Ivan.
