[Xymon] is depends broken?

[Troy Adams]

I have the following in my 'hosts.cfg': 


209.85.225.105 google.com # http://www.google.com 
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX www # trace http://www depends=(http:google.com/http) 

Yesterday, the web server (www) was down for 55 minutes. The Xymon record shows that: 

    1. google.com/http was green for that whole period 
    2. www/http bounced between red and clear for the whole period (with a bounce frequency of 5 minutes) 
    3. My other Xymon server (configured without "depends") shows a solid 55 minute outage (red for 55 minutes). 

This behavior is not what I expect from reading the man page. 

I tried to reproduce this problem with "depends" on my test Xymon server and was able to confirm the same behavior. 

Is there a workaround to this problem with my Xymon 4.3.10 server? 


cheers, 

Troy
