'depends' directive in config files

[Scott Hiemstra]

The only real documentation I ever found for it was http://argus.tcp4me.com/config-details.html but it is very simple to use.

Service TCP/URL {
     url:            http://someurl.somedomain.com
     label:          Some Friendly URL Name
     browser:        Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Argus - just testing)
     depends:        Top:Servers:ServerName:Ping_servername.somedomain.com
}

This would assume that http://someurl.somedomain.com was hosted on a server named servername.somedomain.com.  It basically says the URL will only be considered down if the Ping for the depends object is up.  You can get the depends line from the top bar of any argus page or just grab the relevant parts from the address bar.

Hope that helps,
Scott

Subject: 'depends' directive in config files

Hello,

I cannot seem to find and examples or explanations of
the use of the  'depends'  directive in  argus config files.

the docfiles and example-configs online seem to have nothing there.

Can anyone provide me any simple working examples, or the link that
has the argus docfile for using this directive ?


Thanks
-IvanG.
