Ideas for service dependencies on SSH?

[Ivan Fetch]

Hello,


    I'm working to define service dependencies on SSH, for all services 
associated with the same host wich use SSH (via check_by_ssh) to run 
checks.  I want to tap the collective brains for the most streamlined way 
to do this using templates and wild cards, while not creating dependencies 
I don't intend, or an incredible mess of config files.


    Here are some sample service definitions to illistrate:

# Check SSH, this logs in via SSH and echos "OK - able to login via SSH"
define service{
         use                             generic-service
hostgroup_name ^sol-servers
         service_description             SSH
         contact_groups                  sol-admins
         check_command                   du_check_ssh
         }

# Check Solaris disk suite
define service{
         use                             generic-service
hostgroup_name ^sol-servers
service_description             Disksuite
         contact_groups          sol-admins
         check_command                   du_check_disksuite_ssh
                 normal_check_interval           30
notification_interval 360
}



    I would like the Disksuite service to depend on the SSH service on the 
same host.  I experimented with this dependency definition:

define servicedependency{
use generic-servicedependency-ssh
dependent_hostgroup_name ^sol-servers
dependent_service_description Disksuite
hostgroup_name ^sol-servers
         }


    Unfortunately, what this appears to do, is to define all combinations 
of service dependencies - E.G. Disksuite on host2 depends on SSH on host1, 
Disksuite on host1 depends on SSH on host2,
and so on...


    How are others accomplishing this?


Thank you,

Ivan Fetch.
