Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Imagine a Host in DOWN state. When it comes UP again it takes some time until the Host is really accessible (not only reachable by ping).
Depending on the checks also for Services there could be some "delay" while recovering.
Describe the solution you'd like
There should be something like a "grace period" for dependencies, some kind of "delay" that you can set in time units to minimize false positives. Maybe an attribute for the Dependency object.
Environment
Icinga: 2.13.7
