network hiccups causing false positives to be sent
So our crappy server host (1and1) seems to be getting random network spikes causing false alert emails to be sent out with Critical notifications. I understand I can set alerts.cfg to only alert after a certain duration of red but we need notifications to be sent right away in case of production downtime.
Is there an option where I can have XYMON ping a certain host, and if that host is unreachable to ignore any other alerts? eg. I can run a ping on yahoo.com and example.com , if either of those as any connection issues, to ignore all other alerts for the time being?

Use ROUTE as I think DEPENDS is broken.
1.1.1.1 gateway.foo.com # 0.0.0.0 realserver.com # route:gateway.foo.com
realserver.com will go yellow if gateway.foo.com is red

DEPENDS is broken? No wonder I can't get it to work.

Go to hosts.cfg (or bb-hosts) and use DEPENDS and watch both alerts happen.

Well, you could write a script, that is tripped off by your systems failing the ping. Then in that script, ping yahoo or whatever, and if that succeeds, send your alert on.
