Hello everyone, I have a couple of related questions regarding service dependencies in Nagios and their limitations. I have two service checks (let's call them A and B) and service A depends on service B to function correctly. I want to set Nagios up so that if service B crashes then both services A and B are put into the critical state in Nagios. I've tried using service dependencies in Nagios to represent this behaviour but have yet to be successful. I can only get it to suppress notifications of service A if both services go down.
Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do here? I'd have thought it would be logical that if a service depends on another service and the service depended on dies then all services depending on it would fail their checks as well, but there;s probably some scenario where it doesn't work so well. I've had a look through the mailing list archives and found someone had asked a similar question to the nagios-devel list about 2.5 years ago and didn't end up getting an answer, so I thought I might ask whether solutions to this type of problem had been developed since then.
