Hobbit dependencies and/or route statement???

[d.tom.schmitt at L-3com.com]

I have been trying to setup dependencies:

 

I want to have only one alert from the 116 switch if all 3 go down -
simulation of losing a router/link:

I don't want alerts from the 117 and 118 switches unless they go down
independently.

 

FIRST try using 'depends':

 

I have three old Linksys switches setup on a smaller switch attached to
the network.

I created the following bb-hosts entries:

128.170.41.116  Linksys-116             # conn

128.170.41.117  Linksys-117             #
depends=(conn:Linksys-116/conn)

128.170.41.118  Linksys-118             #
depends=(conn:Linksys-116/conn)

 

RESULT:   If I disconnect all switches, all turn RED and all alert

                   If one goes down it shows RED and alerts

 

SECOND try using 'route'"

 

128.170.41.116  Linksys-116              # conn

128.170.41.117  Linksys-117              # route:128.170.41.116

128.170.41.118  Linksys-118              # route:128.170.41.116

 

RESULT:  Same as depends, no difference

 

These are the entries in the hobbit-alerts.cfg file:

HOST=Linksys-116 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED

                      MAIL D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.com

HOST=Linksys-117 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED

                      MAIL D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.com

HOST=Linksys-118 SERVICE=conn REPEAT=4d RECOVERED

                       MAIL D.Tom.Schmitt at L-3Com.com

 

I must not be understanding how to make a dependency structure work?

 

I am running XYMON 4.3.0-0.beta2.

 

Thanks,
