Dependencies

Hi,

I know how to setup a Sensor to be the Master of his parent for example. But how do I tell this sensor to be itself paused due to dependency of another object? For Example:

Probe -> Router1 -> Switch1 -> Switch2

I'd like to setup: Ping Sensor Router 1 = Master for Router1 Ping Sensor Switch 1 = Master for Switch1 but also depending on Router1 state Ping Sensor Switch 2 = Master for Switch2 but also depending on Switch1 state

In another setup I would also like to have redundancy, if the setup looks like this:

Probe -> Router1 -> Switch1 -> Switch3

Probe -> Router2 -> Switch2 -> Switch3

In Nagios this is possible over the parents, but I don't really see this in PRTG, as I can only select one Parent and have no real hierarchy.

Hi Lars,

as of now it is not possible to have two Objects defined as Master Dependency. Sorry about that.

kind regards
