Columns are the following:

Column	Description
ID	Unique ID of the dependency
Name	Name
Description	Short description of the dependency

In order to add a new dependency, use the ADD action:

[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a ADD \
-v "my new dependency;any description;HOST;dummy-host"

The required parameters are the following:

[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a DEL -v "my dependency"

[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a setparam \
-v "my dependency;name;my new dependency name"

You may change the following parameters:

Parameter	Description

You need to generate your configuration file and restart monitoring engine in order to apply changes.

Listdep¶

If you want to retrieve the dependency definition of a dependency object, use the LISTDEP action:

[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a LISTDEP -v "my dependency"
parents;children
HostParent1|HostParent2;HostChild1|HostChild2,ServiceChild2

Addparent and Addchild¶

If you want to add a new parent or a new child in a dependency definition, use the ADDPARENT or ADDCHILD action:

[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a ADDPARENT \
-v "my dependency;my_parent_host"
[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a ADDCHILD \
-v "my dependency;my_child_host"
[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a ADDCHILD \
-v "my dependency;my_child_host2,my_child_service2"

Note

You need to generate your configuration file and restart monitoring engine in order to apply changes.

[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a DELPARENT \

[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a DELCHILD \
-v "my dependency;my_child_host"
[root@centreon ~]# ./centreon -u admin -p centreon -o DEP -a DELCHILD \
-v "my dependency;my_child_host2,my_child_service2"
