Hello,

i've got lot of hosts with multiple parents (vmware host system etc). Do define these parents objects i created dependencies for each parent host.
In status map and also in host informations these dependencies are listed.
If one of my parents is not reachable all child get unreachable, whats wrong beacause it is a kind of "OR" condition.
Whats the right way to create those multiple parent dependencies?
Example of my situtation:

object HostGroup "dependencytest" {
        assign where match("child*", host.name) || match ("parent*", host.name)
}
template Host "testhost" {
        import "generic-host"
        check_interval = 1m
        retry_interval = 30
}

object Host "parent1" {
        import "testhost"
        address = "127.0.0.1"
        vars.testparent = "true"
}

object Host "parent2" {
        import "testhost"
        address = "126.0.0.1"
        vars.testparent = "true"
}

object Host "child1" {
        import "testhost"
        address = "127.0.0.1"
}
object Host "child2" {
        import "testhost"
        address = "127.0.0.1"
}
object Host "child3" {
        import "testhost"
        address = "127.0.0.1"
}

apply Dependency "testparent1" to Host {
        parent_host_name = "parent1"
        assign where match("child*", host.name)
}

apply Dependency "testparent2" to Host {
        parent_host_name = "parent2"
        assign where match("child*", host.name)
}

In my opinion and the way icinga 1 is working - if there are multiple parents defined the status unreachable should only be set if all parents are unavailable.

Thank you!

Regards,
Philipp

Imho that's a duplicate of the feature request #6871 - and not a bug.

Hey Michi,
maybe its more a feature, but the feature #6871 is closed and i followed the instructions in the documentation.
The question is "Why are my child hosts unreachble when multiple parents defined?"

Thank you

Multiple parent dependencies are combined as logical 'or'. I've re-opened the other ticket, feel free to come up with a patch. Feature freeze for 2.3 is end of February though.
