INSTEAD, it uses the "parents" directive that is part of the "host" object definition.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>aren't "parents" and "hostdependency"s now redundant? in what case would you have a parent that wasn't a hostdependency? in looking at the code, i can agree it might not be a trivial change, but should this fact be documented somewhere?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>-- "Computer science is as much about computers as astronomy is about telescopes" -- Edsger Dijkstra --------------------------------------------------------- Anthony Tonns, UNIX Administrator - atonns@mail.ivillage.com </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message----- From: atonns@mail.ivillage.com [mailto:atonns@mail.ivillage.com] Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 11:32 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] statusmap.cgi not showing dependencies properly </DIV> i'd like to know if the statusmap.cgi will understand the alternate method i'm using for configs and map the dependencies properly. basically, each host has one line in the main nagios.cfg: cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/firewall cfg_dir=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts/testhost in each directory there is a host.cfg file that has something like this (as apropriate): define host{ use generic-host ; Name of host template to use host_name testhost alias Test for Nagios address testhost.foobar.com check_command check-host-alive max_check_attempts 10 notification_interval 480 notification_period workhours } define hostdependency{ host_name firewall dependent_host_name testhost notification_failure_criteria d,u } also in the appropriate directories are seperate config files for each service (http.cfg, ping.cfg, etc. etc.) statusmap.cgi prints a nice picture, but it doesn't show that "testhost" depends on "router". it shows all hosts directly connected to the "nagios process" icon. P.S. "testhost" is actually a virtual IP on "firewall" that is nat'd to testhost.nat.foobar.com using private 10.x.x.x addresses behind that firewall. P.P.S. I only have 3 hosts currently configured. The host that runs nagios, "firewall" and "testhost". They are all shown as directly connected to "nagios process". thanks in advance for any/all help. -- "Computer science is as much about computers as astronomy is about telescopes" -- Edsger Dijkstra --------------------------------------------------------- Anthony Tonns, UNIX Administrator - atonns@mail.ivillage.com </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
