Gents,
I configured everything for the route tag and it works great :-)
Thanks, michael

Eric is right. When Toronto goes red oriole will go yellow with a
message like "The router toronto (IP:192.168.192.20) is not reachable,
causing this host to be unreachable."
You can also have multiple things in the route tag if it makes sense to
do so. I have a Hobbit server on our main LAN and monitored devices at
the far end of WAN links...so I use route to check the router at this
side, the router's WAN at the far side, and the router's LAN at the far
side. That quickly tells me if I have a router problem here, a WAN link
problem, or a LAN problem at the remote site.
Cheers.

I use the "route" tag for that instead:
192.168.192.20 toronto # trace conn
192.168.192.21 oriole # trace conn route:Toronto
You'd get an alert on Toronto...... someone please correct me if my
understanding is wrong.

Fellow Hobbit users,
I need a little help with something, it has stumped me...
I have two hosts on the same network, if one goes down. The other will
be down also because of a switch issue. I don't want to receive two
alerts. So I wrote in the depends tag, is this correct format???
192.168.192.20 toronto # trace conn
192.168.192.21 oriole # trace conn
depends=(conn:toronto/conn)
If toronto is down and oriole is down, I just one one email alert.
Thanks for the help, michael
