OK, thanks, any opinions on whether it is better to use route, or depends?

Hi.

Use the "route" setting. For each connected device, add "route:switch.company.com". That way, if the conn test of the switch fails, any conn test for the connected devices will go yellow instead of red.

Combined super-tests and test interdependencies ...
    Tests can also be configured to depend on each other, so that when a critical router goes down you will get alerts only for the router - and not from the 200 hosts behind the router.

I'm not seeing how to set this type of testing up, basically event correlation, so that if a switch goes down, hobbit knows not to send alerts for each connected host.

Can some point me in the right direction, i.e. specific man-page, or just show me an example of how to configure this?

Thanks,
Taylor
