Problem getting servicedependencies with servicegroups working

[Tim Palmer]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get service dependencies with service groups working and 
not having any luck. The format given in the docs isn't working for me. 
Am I just being stupid, or is there something else going on? I'll admit 
to not having dived into the source, as reading source code isn't one of 
my strong suits...

The intent is to have a bunch of services (same service on several 
hosts) not be checked if the same service type on one host fails. 
Service group membership is defined by "servicegroups" lines on the 
specific service defs. The following servicedependany def is only one of 
many I've tried. Every way I've tried fails nagios -v with:

Nagios 2.9

Reading configuration data...

Error: Could not expand dependent hostgroups and/or hosts specified in 
service d
ependency (config file '/usr/local/etc/nagios/services.cfg', starting on 
line 19
)

***> One or more problems was encountered while processing the config 
files...

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to read
     the HTML documentation regarding the config files, as well as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed

       execution_failure_criteria      w,u,c

Any thoughts?

thank you for your time,
