OK, thanks, any opinions on whether it is better to use route, or depends?

Hi.
Use the "route" setting. For each connected device, add "route:switch.company.com". That way, if the conn test of the switch fails, any conn test for the connected devices will go yellow instead of red.

From the xymon.com webpage is this snippit...

Combined super-tests and test interdependencies ...
Tests can also be configured to depend on each other, so that when a critical router goes down you will get alerts only for the router - and not from the 200 hosts behind the router.

I'm not seeing how to set this type of testing up, basically event correlation, so that if a switch goes down, hobbit knows not to send alerts for each connected host.
Can some point me in the right direction, i.e. specific man-page, or just show me an example of how to configure this?
Thanks,
Taylor
