Feature Request - Dependency Tracking
list Craig Cook
One feature nagios has that I really like is the ability to nominate dependent devices. ie. server1 has a depends on cisco1. If cisco1 fails, don't worry about sending alerts for server1, since you can assume it is not visible. Info on Host Dependency - nagios style http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#hostdependency http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/dependencies.html Info on flapping - nagios style http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/flapping.html Another cool thing is parents - used to map out the network. Nagios also uses the "group" concept a lot. Put hosts/services in a group and only work with groups. Thanks Craig
