[Check_mk (english)] Conditional tag groups?

Hi list,

I'm wondering if there currently is a possibility in WATO to have tag groups show/hide based on the value picked in another tag group.

A simple use case would be: I have a tag groups for specifying the application platform. If I pick 'webserver' here, I need to select in another tag group if the webserver is configured to support SSL. However, when a server isn't a webserver, the second tag group has no relevance.
Another way to look at this would be to have certain topics show/hide based on the value chosen in another tag group (that would probably be in the generic topic (i.e. leaving topic empy).

As I have multiple of these scenario's in my setup, it would really make the configuration interface more clear.

If a specific tag group has no relevance, I'm okay with the server being configured with the default values.

P.s.: I already found that I can have custom host attributes show/hide based on the value of a tag group by using the option 'depends_on_tags' like is done with SNMP community. This is similar to how I would like the tag groups to behave.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Paul Bongers
