We have several tests on devices at the end of redundant comm paths that we would like to make dependant on either path being up, as in:
Perform test if either path or both paths are alive.
Do not perform test if both paths are dead.
Currently I can't see an easy way to accomplish this with the "depends on master test" feature. Could it be done with an expression? If so, where is the "depends on expression" feature documented? |

Yes.

New manual is not completed however some information available: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/news.htm#hmnewdepend
Your expression may look like
('%::1stMasterTestName::SimpleStatus%'=="UP") or ('%::2ndMasterTestName::SimpleStatus%'=="UP")

Thanks Alex,
That should work just fine.
Now I'm wondering if there is any way to test the dependancy expression within the program but off-line by somehow manually toggling the Master Test States & Reoccurances and then evaluating the expression.
One way to accomplish this would be to allow the "Refresh Selected Test" feature to work with monitoring turned off (or perhaps add a test mode which allowed manual monitoring).
Thanks again for your quick reply,
Ron |
