greetings, in my company we have firewalls with cellular failover/backup
cards built in them. I need to be alerted when we fail over to these
cards. I am currently pinging the T1 WAN interface and get alerts when
it goes down, but I need to get an acknowledgement that the cell card
did in fact fail over and the VPN was re-established. we also want to
use this alerting to see if the cards are randomly dialing out.
If I ping the cell cards static IP it is down (red) when it is not
dialed, so I need alert on green status. I also do not want my main
status pages to be red all the time. is there a way to say "red is
good, but green is bad"?
Other monitoring tools allow for contingencies like 'if the WAN IP is
down, then try pinging the WWAN IP, but do not ping WWAN IP until then."
can hobbit do this?
I can say I'm fairly sure it is possible, I just do not know how off the
top of my head. In Big Brother, this would be done by specifying a test
like !conn or something like that, as in "look for no connection." I'd
expect a quick look at the docs would turn that up for Xymon as well.
