dependencies checks

[Jeff Weisberg]

| But I've small problem how should I use "dependencies". For example I have 2 
| cascaded switches, on the 
| first is the argus-monitor on the second a server which i want check. I also 
| check both switches. When the first switch goes down, I don't need checks and 
| alarms about the second switch and the server (because the couldn't be 
| reached).

| Could "grouping" implement this?

you could put them all into a group,
and send alerts from the group instead of the services:


	Group "Stuff" {
		sendnotify:	yes

		Service Ping {
			hostname:	switch1
			sendnotify:	no
		}
		Service Ping {
			hostname:	switch2
			sendnotify:	no
		}
		Service Ping {
			hostname:	server1
			sendnotify:	no
		}
	}
