Service dependencies

[Thomas Sluyter]

I was actually wondering about the exact same thing Dirk was thinking
 about! Such a shortcut would really help out in easing the use
 of dependencies.



Ethan's solution wouldn't work if you look at it logically. Why?
 Because you're telling Nagios that:

* All instances of service A in hostgroup X

* Depend on all instances of service B in hostgroup X.



Meaning that all instances of A will "fail" if -any- instance of
 B goes down. That's not what we want to happen, is it? :p



As Dirk said: it would be great if there was some shortcut for telling
 Nagios that you want all instances of service A in hostgroup X
 to be dependant of service B on -their-own- host. That way you
 could take care of all dependencies for a whole hostgroup in a
 matter of a few dozen lines of code.
