[hobbit] Depends Question

7 Jul 2010


      Thanks all;
In my situation, we have a pair of servers where one of the two must be running a process, that is what we monitor; the existence of the process running, not the availability of the host.
Any suggestions anyone?
Thank you,

I have always used "route" and it works perfectly if conn is all you care about. I have never actually gotten "depends" to work. It doesn't make the ping go through any host you put in route and it also chains properly to make it easier. Example:
10.10.10.10 server1 # conn route:network1
20.20.20.20 network1 # conn route:network2
30.30.30.30 network2 # conn
If the route to server1 is: hobbit -> network2 -> network1 -> server1
The above statement works, that if network2 is down ... network1 and server1 go blank :)

I have nothing to add to this thread, but it looks like "depends" might be helpful for a problem I am currently having with a pair of servers, whereby one at a time will show a process as running, the other not. So as long as one of these machines is running this app, the color should stay green.

I've not experienced that behavior. Use this for dsl/cable modems and

our routers for 3+ years.

I read somewhere that if you use route, it does something weird with
...
...
the pings so they go through that host or something?

Let me test it and see how it behaves

I'm not certain of this because I've always used FQDN.
...

If you have FQDN=true and are not using them, maybe the DEPENDS tag
...
...
...
isn't finding eto correct?
...
...
...

In your case, as it is conn, you can use route

Josh,
...
...
...
...
Not sure what you were saying there?
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
My goal is that if eto's conn goes red, that standby's conn should go
...
...
...
...
clear if it also fails.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Does my depends statement not appear to work in that fashion?

In stanby's DEPENDS statement referring to eto - not the testing of the host.
