Hi Simon, Surely if you have your parent tree setup as follows:
Opsview -> Office Firewall -> DC Firewall Inside Interface -> DC Hosts If the VPN is down the inside interface on the firewall will be down and the DC hosts will all be "Unreachable" Just configure your hosts behind the vpn to not alert if they are unreachable but make sure that your Inside interface on the VPN is alerting so you know to reset it From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Simon Sent: 03 August 2009 22:38 To: Opsview Users Subject: Re: [opsview-users] Dont alert on services if VPN is down?

We have a opsview 3.1 (running on debian lenny) server that monitors about 20 hosts at our data centre. We all the "Parents" setup for the hosts correctly.. in theory this does not send alerts for a host if its parent is down (correct?). So what we need todo now is sort the same thing for the hosts/services on the hosts at the data centre if the VPN interface on the local fortigate box is down. Now - i can see that there are Notification Dependencies<http://docs.opsview.org/doku.php?id=opsview3.1:servicecheck#notification_dependencies>, so this sounds excatly what i need - which is cool. But how do i go about configuring... "the service checks for these hosts only rely on this service on this host being up"? Thanks Simon Bump on this one.. any thoughts here? Thanks Simon
