xymon test dependencies

Last I checked, the depends wasn't working properly and I haven't seen a
release.

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
