another benefit to limiting the spurious alerts with your proposed method would be that there is no need to run the higher level depends unless something toward the bottom is breaking. mon + | + router ping +-+ internet connectivity +-+ web server ping +-+ web httpd up + | + server ping + | + server ssh + | + server disk free (runs over ssh) on a depend tree like above, we would only run pings to the router, server, and ssh to the server if the disk free was breaking. we could also stop checking internet access, and web server pings if we could verify that the web servers are up. -Tom Scanlan OpenReach, Inc.
