[Nagios-users] Service & Host dependencies: feature request?

[js]

Hi list, I think host and service dependencies are a great help in accurately defining a problem.  I even think they are even indispensable to reflect truly accurate reporting/alarming for complex environments with different teams being responsible for different systems that depend upon each other. But I'm missing 2 things in Nagios: When service1 is dependent upon service2, and service2 is critical it would be really helpful if the critical status of service1 reflects something like: "Service2 dependency failure". This way, when I'm responsible for this service/host, I know with just an SMS that it's someone else that needs to fix the problem.  I know you can repress the notifications for service1 in this case but sometimes you just want to know what's going on. You can't track service and host dependencies from the web interface. It would be extremely helpful to have besides a "status map" a "dependency map" (with recursive dependencies resolved). I have no problem with the config files, but tracking dependencies in large setup can be tedious. What are your thoughts? Js
