Host dependencies
-
Is there the possibility to have a feature like "Host Dependencies" that is found in Nagios?
I have many nodes that depend on some core switches but I would like to receive alerts only from the core switch that is down and not from the nodes that dependent on it. -
This can be done with scripts in event processing policy. You can determine switch where host is connected, and ignore event if it is down. I will also add a feature request for implementing it as standard event correlation rule.
Best regards,

Hi,
Could there be timing issues with this approach? If you have 10 nodes dependant on 1 switch, all with a status interval of 1 minute, you're bound to have some nodes going down before the switch node.
If it's turned in to a full-fledged rule, it'd be really cool if the rule could trigger the status (or more generally, any random DCI?) to be checked before evaluation; but perhaps to prevent it from bogging down the event processor make this optional.
