I have been trying to setup dependencies:

I want to have only one alert from the 116 switch if all 3 go down – simulation of losing a router/link:

I don’t want alerts from the 117 and 118 switches unless they go down independently.

FIRST try using ‘depends’:

I have three old Linksys switches setup on a smaller switch attached to the network.

I created the following bb-hosts entries:

128.170.41.116 Linksys-116 # conn

128.170.41.117 Linksys-117 # depends=(conn:Linksys-116/conn)

128.170.41.118 Linksys-118 # depends=(conn:Linksys-116/conn)

RESULT: If I disconnect all switches, all turn RED and all alert

               If one goes down it shows RED and alerts

SECOND try using ‘route’”

128.170.41.116 Linksys-116 # conn

128.170.41.117 Linksys-117 # route:128.170.41.116

128.170.41.118 Linksys-118 # route:128.170.41.116

RESULT: Same as depends, no difference

Try:

128.170.41.116 Linksys-116 # conn

128.170.41.117 Linksys-117 # route:Linksys-116

128.170.41.118 Linksys-118 # route:Linksys-116

I have route: working fine for me in my network. You need to use the host names not IP addresses.

David.

These are the entries in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file:

HOST=Linksys-116 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED

                  MAIL D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.com

HOST=Linksys-117 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED

                  MAIL D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.com

HOST=Linksys-118 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED

                   MAIL D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.com

<mailto:D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.com>

I must not be understanding how to make a dependency structure work?

I am running XYMON 4.3.0-0.beta2.
