Hi there. I found this link, which describes how create devise
dependencies so that if devise A goes down, B will not alert because
it is dependent upon A.
http://www.zenoss.com/Members/netdata/create-a-device-dependency/
Yet, I'm not able to get this to work. Here is what I wrote:
if device.id == 'fc6.localvm.com':
db_server = device.findDevice('fc8.localvm.com')
if db_server.pingStatus() > 0:
evt.eventState = 2 # suppressed
I made the dependency part of the Event/Status class. So for example
the url for that would look like something like this in your own
environment:
http://192.168.94.XXX:8080/zport/dmd/Events/Status/eventClassStatus.
I then went to More__> Transform and added the above script. I
thought this was the right place for this because "status" includes
pinging a devise. Should I be making this "Transform" in the actual
ping class?:
http://192.168.94.129:X/zport/dmd/Events/Status/Ping/eventClassStatus
So, I'm confused as to how far I have to drill down into an event
class to make this work and also what other checks can I do other
than just pingStatus. I'd like to be able create dependencies based
on ports on application servers being down too. So lets say port
7070 is down on Server A, no events should be reported by server B,C
and D. The documentation doesn't explain the syntax for other
commands.
You do have to go all the way to the event class that the event is
going to end up in. These transforms do not inherit down the hierarchy.
