I don't know, as a tracking server can be independently set in maintenance, it may be confusing. In fact, if the tracked server is in maintenance, it's not shocking to say that the tracking servers are DOWN. Another solution would be a mix of the current behaviour and what you proposed. The color of the tracking servers is the "MAINT" color and the status not only displays the server state but also the tracking server state. This would give something like : - UP : the server is UP because the tracked server is UP - DOWN/DOWN : the server is DOWN because the tracked server is DOWN => the line is in red - DOWN/MAINT : the server is DOWN because the tracked server is in maintenance => the line is in brown - MAINT : the server is in maintenance (no need to know the tracked server state) => the line is also in brown Maybe the DOWN/DOWN can be optional to not break current monitoring scripts implementations (only DOWN will be displayed). What do you think about that ? If it's ok, I can work on a patch for this tomorrow evening. -- Cyril Bonté
