"AND" sensor

Votes:

0

Hello, I need to find a way how to solve this issue: I have two routers connected to WAN and both are connected to core switch (stack of two switches). How to set dependancy? I would like to stop all sensors of the switch when interfaces on both routers are down. Is there any way how to do it? I gues, there is no option, how to set dependency to more than one sensor, but is there a chance how to create special sensor (without device), which shows AND state of more sensors?

Thank you, Jan

Hi Jan,

for this case you need to create a Factory Sensor with a Custom Error Handling like "status(2031) AND status(2044)". This will change the factory sensor to a Down status if both sensors, with IDs 2031 and 2044, are Down. Otherwise the factory sensor will show an Up status.

Please see this link, section "Define Sensor Status—status() Function"

Also you need to select this sensor as "Dependency" for the sensors on the Switch.
