What I want is like if the parent service goes critical, the dependent service should automatically go to critical without doing any check. Is it possible to force state change of the dependent service based on its parent service in nagios. What I have read from Nagios docs is that it is service dependency will only help in avoiding active checks and to suppress notification for the dependent host/service.
