Service dependency fun

[Randy Rodriguez]

Hey all.  Here's my situation, and my dilemma.  I instituted a check of
the snmpd process on a group of hosts, all of which do snmp-based checks
of other services.  I want to institute a dependency such that the snmp
checks do not notify if the snmpd check fails.  Simple, no?  Here's my
service dependency cfg:

define servicedependency{
        hostgroup_name                  all_servers
        service_description             snmp_svc
        dependent_service_description   snmp_*
        execution_failure_criteria      n
        notification_failure_criteria   c,u
        }

I've also tried it like this:

define servicedependency{
        hostgroup_name                  all_servers
        service_description             snmp_svc
        dependent_servicegroup_name     snmp_checks
        execution_failure_criteria      n
        notification_failure_criteria   c,u
        }

and both fail in the same way.  The error is
Error: Could not expand master services specified in service dependency
(config file '/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/service_dependencies.cfg',
starting on line 1)

Clearly I'm missing something.  Any help appreciated.

Nagios 3.0.6, btw.

Thanks,
-Randy
