Dependencies

[Alain Williams]

Hi,

I am trying to get some of the dependency stuff working in Nagios.

I have a very simple system:

Machine A .... Router B ..... Internet .... machine C

I use the following to show the relationship:

define host{
        use                     linux-server
        host_name               A
        parents                 B
        }


1) The 'status map' shows nagios as being somehow between A & B, whereas it is on A (ie it runs on A).
   Is there a way that I can tell nagios that it is on A ?

2) I check that DNS is still working thus:

define service{
        use                             local-service
        host_name                       A
        service_description             DNS Access
        check_command                   check_dns
        }


   How do I say that this depends on B ? ... I don't want warnings just because the router is dead.

   I also check (twice/day) that the clock on A is accurate, that will only work if NTP works, ie
   also depends on B, but is very much tied to A.

TIA
