Host Dependencies

[Michael Jewett]

Hi,

I'm starting to monitor my Access Points with Nagios.  The problem is 
they have "multiple" parents.  Each AP is connected to the parent 
switch, which is simple, just a parent line in the APs host definition. 
  If the switch goes down I don't get alerted about the 15 APs behind.

The problem is these are thin APs, so they tunnel all their traffic back 
to a "Management Switch".  If this "Management Switch" goes down then 
the APs reboot continually until they can re-establish their connection 
back to that "Management Switch".

I thought about having multiple parents in the host definition, but this 
only suppresses warnings if both parents go down, not it only one goes down.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Michael
