 #2 sounds a lot like "flapping".  Does "depends" honor flapping or would
a flapping server still show red?  Or am  I not understanding the situation?

   I have the following in my 'hosts.cfg':

209.85.225.105   google.com   # http://www.google.com
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX  www          # trace http://www depends=(http:
google.com/http)


Yesterday, the web server (www) was down for 55 minutes.  The Xymon record
shows that:

   1. google.com/http was green for that whole period
   2. www/http bounced between red and clear for the whole period (with a
   bounce frequency of 5 minutes)
   3. My other Xymon server (configured without "depends") shows a solid
   55 minute outage (red for 55 minutes).

This behavior is not what I expect from reading the man page.

I tried to reproduce this problem with "depends" on my test Xymon server
and was able to confirm the same behavior.

Is there a workaround to this problem with my Xymon 4.3.10 server?


cheers,

Troy
