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

Hi There,

Our office is connected to our remote data centre via a fortigate to fortigate 
VPN. 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
