Can hobbit work with malfunction of switch/router ?
ie, if a switich is dead ant it has 200 nodes behind it. there is no need
to issue conn outage alerts for those 200 nodes.
Hi
see the "router" keyword in the bb-hosts(5) manpage :
route:router1,router2,....
This tag is taken from the "fping.sh" script, and is used by bbtest-net
when run with the "--ping" option to enable ping testing.
The router1,router2,... is a comma-separated list of hosts elsewhere in
the bb-hosts file. You cannot have any spaces in the list - separate hosts
with commas.
This tag changes the color reported for a ping check that fails, when
one or more of the hosts in the "route" list is also down. A "red" status
becomes "yellow" - other colors are unchanged. The status message will
include information about the hosts in the router-list that are down, to
aid tracking down which router is the root cause of the problem.
Note: Internally, the ping test will still be handled as "failed", and
therefore any other tests run for this host will report a status of
"clear".
