servicedependencies not working

[Assaf Flatto]

Even for the same host dependencies you still need to define a host in the servicedependency definitions. 
At the moment your servicedependency (the one you pasted here) is not associated with any host and hence the logic is not implemented on any host testing logic.

Subject: [Nagios-users] servicedependencies not working 


I’ve started playing with making a bunch of dependencies and at first it appeared to be working, right now I’ve got a pretty basic test setup. I’ve added one service to be dependent on the other one, but it seems that the freshness might be mucking with it. Two services below: 


define service { 
service_description base_log_checks 
servicegroups base_service_group 
hostgroup_name base_windows_2003 
use generic-passive-service 
check_freshness 1 
freshness_threshold 3600 
check_command service_is_ 
} 

define service { 
service_description nagios_cron 
servicegroups base_service_group 
hostgroup_name base_windows_2003 
use generic-passive-service 
check_freshness 1 
freshness_threshold 3000 
check_command service_is_stale 
} 

define servicedependency { 
service_description nagios_cron 
dependent_service_description base_log_checks 
execution_failure_criteria w,u,c 
notification_failure_criteria w,u,c 
inherits_parent 1 
} 

What appears to happen is that I kill nsclient so nagios_cron starts reporting “stale” at 3000 seconds, and the same for base_log_checks shortly after. Then about every hour I get more “stale” soft alerts, and then after the third try it goes to a HARD alert and I still get a ticket, though I’m not sure why it’s even checking if execution should be disable when nagios_cron is in a warning state. But not only does the active checks (service_is_stale) get executed but I’m also still getting notifications sent after 3 attempts, so it doesn’t really appear to be doing anything. Unfortunately right now these servers are so busy it’s hard to put them in debug mode. Have I missed something obvious with these?
