Hi,
 
I used the dependencies feature in bb-hosts to avoid many red systems
behind a failing router which is really extremely useful.
 
However, I'd like to go a step further - to save resources I'd like stop
all tests for systems behind a failing router. Is there a way to achieve
this?
 
regards

I guess you can code a disable/enable script, to be called by
hobbit-alerts.cfg's SCRIPT directive for that particular router.
I am not aware of such built-in functions, admitt that I am just a few
months old on Hobbit Monitor.

What resources are you going to save?  I think Henrik already takes some
evasive action in the standard Hobbit.  If you start down this path you
will end up with a big maintenance burden, simply to save on pings...or
are you trying to disable some expensive tests?
