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
These are the entries in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file:
HOST=Linksys-116 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED
MAIL user-9c1ae820b621@xymon.invalid
HOST=Linksys-117 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED
MAIL user-9c1ae820b621@xymon.invalid
HOST=Linksys-118 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED
MAIL user-9c1ae820b621@xymon.invalid
I must not be understanding how to make a dependency structure work?
I am running XYMON 4.3.0-0.beta2.
