depends on another test/expression - question

[digger]

Hello,

I have a small question.
We are still in test fase !!

We have some servers that test the diskspace.
All servers are in the same subnet/site.

Hostmonitor is in another site/subnet/place

When a site goes down (powerfaillure or isp problem) all the test goes bad.
So I think I need to rely on another test.


here is the question.

Is it possible to check if the server is available and then do the test ?
If server is not available then no test, can this be done by an expression or another test ?

so something like

('%::TestA::SimpleStatus%'=='UP')
but "TestA" should be the host "%host%"
is this possible ?

('%::%host%::SimpleStatus%'=='UP') ==> does not work


So to be short.
test performed from the hostmonitor should only be done if the to-be-tested Server is online (pingable)

Sounds like you want to setup Dependant test without creating Master test? This is impossible.

What you need - simply setup Master test (e.g. Ping test) and select this test using "This test depends on another test(s) option.

Thank you.

I configered a test to a router for that site, and placed this as the master.
works fine.
