Host dependency

[RoyK]

Hi all

AFAICS, such thing as host dependencies doesn't exist in Zabbix. This would be very nice to have in case machine A is behind router B and B goes down or for smaller installs, where for instance VM C, D and E runs on hos H and that host goes down, so do obviously the VMs residing on it. I have ben using Zabbix for some years now and I miss this functionality from my Nagios days.That said - there's a lot I don't miss about Nagios

With the right trigger configurations on Zabbix, we can effectively address scenarios like the one you described with machine A and router B or the interconnected VMs.

forget about nagios, forget about trigger dependencies...use tags ( on host, template, trigger level ) and correlation rules - its easier and better once you get used to it

I get it—host dependencies are handy. In Zabbix, consider using host groups or creating a master template for such scenarios. While it's not the same as Nagios, it provides a workaround.
