Depends tag for files 🔗 link

Hobbities....

 
I'm trying to setup a depend tag for files so that the files check would
depend on another server being up, this is useful to us as we need in
the first instance to make sure a directory exists on a set of servers,
but don't want it in the second instance to alert if the server is down,
rather go white as it's a depend.

 
Any ideas.

If I understand correctly, you want the "files" check for server A to
depend on the "conn" check for server B.

The only way you can do that is with a combo-test. The built-in
"depends" tag in Hobbit only works for network tests, so a combo
test is the only way you can generate a single status from multiple
independent status reports.

That means you would setup a combined test "mycheck" in bbcombotest.cfg
with
    myhost.mycheck=((serverA.conn==1) && (serverB.files==0))
and then do your alerting based on the "mycheck" status.
