Custom dependencies dont set the value is_handled on the child when triggered.

[Duffkess]

Describe the bug

I have the following dependencies:

1. standard services to host dependency that I did not defined anywhere, its just the internal one from icinga2 itself
2. a custom dependency apply rule that adds a new dependency for all services on a host (windows host template) for a service called icinga2 agent. That way when the icinga2 agent is not connected, It just notifies for this service.

Now I have seen two different scenarios:

one host is down, the implicit dependcy triggers and the services get displayed as handled trough dependency in icingaweb2 and in the database I can see the entry is_handled = y in the service_state table.

but on a second host the agent is not available but its child services where not shown as handled at all, also in the database I can see:

is_handled = n

But the dependency itself works fine, I did not receive any notifications for the child services on both hosts.

Expected behavior

I think the custom dependencies should also trigger the is_handled field in the database, or even better it could be possible to configure in the dependency if the child should be treated as handled or not.

Screenshots

The implicit host dependency shows it fine:

The custom dependency does not handle it

Is this similar (or a duplicate of) #6092 ?

[nilmerg]

I can somewhat reproduce this. Though, since Icinga DB Web v1.1 the reachability of children is reliably visible and very similar in appearance to how a handled state is shown.

So, is this still relevant?
