Hobbit dependencies and/or route statement???
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 alertsSECOND 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
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.comHOST=Linksys-117 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED
MAIL D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.comHOST=Linksys-118 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED
MAIL D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.comI must not be understanding how to make a dependency structure work?
I am running XYMON 4.3.0-0.beta2.

Well, the route tag can be used to encode the path between the BBNET host and the target. It only applies to network tests -- client tests are on their own.
In your case, you are setting up the 116 switch to be the path between your monitoring server and the other two switches. So, if you disconnect 116, 117, and 118 at the same time you should see 116 go read, and the others turn yellow. Only 116 should alert. In theory, that is.
However, you have all three switches on the same subnet which makes this a bit hard to test. It would be better if you could put a router in front of them, or configure 116 to act like a router and then put 117 and 118 on different subnets.
I do not use the DEPEND tag myself, so I do not know how it works.

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.
