Yes they are conn tests. I looked in the docs and the demo site at http://www.xymon.com/
but could not find any examples of how to use 'route' beyond what is halfway down http://www.xymon.com/hobbit/help/manpages/man5/bb-hosts.5.html
Part of my bb-hosts page looks like this:
group-compress Plan ER
10.1.64.99 PLANPRT # ping
10.1.64.254 TXPLA2401er.fw.int # ping
24.15.8.130 TXPLA2401er.fw.ext # ping
24.15.8.129 TXPLA2401er.gateway # ping
24.15.8.249 TXPLA2401er.serial # ping
24.15.8.250 TXPLA2401er.Grande.serial # ping
10.1.64.12 PlanER.power # ping
16.155.240.142 PlanER.cellbackup # !conn
So if I did not want multiple alerts for the failure of any part of the WAN would I add a new rule to bb-hosts page like:
Route:TXPLA2401er.fw.int,TXPLA2401er.fw.ext,TXPLA2401er.gateway,TXPLA2401er.serial,TXPLA2401er.Grande.serial
Anyone have an example of how to use route that they can share?

Is it all conn tests? Use route if so.

Greetings, I need so assistance in setting up "conditional" or "dependent"
alert status on hobbit, so for example, if the firewall dies, it knows that
devices X, Y and Z are "dependent" on the firewall, therefore it won't tell
us about 55 things that are down, just tell us the firewall is down?
This is a major pain in the rump every time we lose a VPN tunnel and we all
get 100 text messages.
