<p class=MsoNormal>greetings, in my company we have firewalls with cellular
failover/backup cards built in them. I need to be alerted when we fail
over to these cards. I am currently pinging the T1 WAN interface and get
alerts when it goes down, but I need to get an acknowledgement that the cell
card did in fact fail over and the VPN was re-established. we also want to use
this alerting to see if the cards are randomly dialing out.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If I ping the cell cards static IP it is down (red) when it
is not dialed, so I need alert on green status. I also do not want my main
status pages to be red all the time. is there a way to say "red is
good, but green is bad"?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Other monitoring tools allow for contingencies like 'if the WAN
IP is down, then try pinging the WWAN IP, but do not ping WWAN IP until
then." can hobbit do this?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
