Hi,
I have multiple sites and tests being monitored at the moment. What I would like to be able to do is create a master test that will only go Bad only if server1, server 2 and server3 lose connectivity. If any one server on its own goes down then I want it to stay Alive. This would let me know that more than one section of our network has gone down rather than just individual hosts having problems.
Is this currently possible?
thanks,
Gavin
Master Test
Well, you have to create 3 tests to monitor 3 servers. Then you may add 4th test and use Optional status processing to manage status: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... processing
E.g. you may setup Ping test to check localhost and enable "Use Warning status" option with expression like ('%::Server1::%SuggestedSimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and ('%::Server2::%SuggestedSimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and ('%::Server3::%SuggestedSimpleStatus%'=='DOWN')
You may use master-dependant relations as well (see "This test depends on expression" option) but this additional test should depend on 3 other tests. So, it would be dependant test, not master
