but in you explanation of the problem you say that you defined it on a group ,
in that group is
called all_servers , that is ok , but if not and you are adding the dependency
to a server that
does not have the snmp checks related to , the load verification will fail .
also in the first example of the definitions , " snmp_*" is not a valid
parameter , "*" is a
standalone all encompassing declaration , you'll need to write each service
name manually to
include all snmp checks in to the dependency tree.
