sample service

[Scott]

Well, sorry about the delay, I have been reading, just not replying for a few odd days or weeks, anyway.. the result from setting up dependancies is a little tedious.

After being confused by the fact that a host dependancy is not actually related to a service dependancy I think I am finally ready to implement something half useable.

the problem is that a service consisting of a ping is still not related to a host being host_checked by a ping.. confusing or what!!

so if a service ping stops responding then a dependant will still be checked and show as unreachable.. damn annoying as I have all my hosts set with a ping * service by default.. :(

I do need the ping * service as I have lots of routers online and other than checking telnet ports all over the place this was the easiest way of adding a default service to a new host "on the fly"

so, unless you specifically have a dependant service I would always suggest using a host dependancy..

Thanks again

Scott

  Scott, 

  Let me know how you get on with service dependancies ! I cannot see how else you can do but define a list of service dependencies for each server !!! 

  Thanks !

  Thanks so much for that, its exactly the information I was looking for...

  Now I have to figure this dependency thingy out... more fun and games...

  I now have 75 hosts and 105 services and its getting a little tricky to
  maintain information.

  Scott

  Thanks again people
