How do I make a complex dependency logic work?

Votes:

0

I need to apply this logic: 1. Group1 is paused if (ping sensor 1 and ping sensor 2 are down) or ping sensor 3 is down 2. Group 2 is paused if (ping sensor 1 and ping sensor 2 are down)

I cannot use a factory sensor because it does not support ping.

I could use a business process which can handle this logic, but a business logic cannot be used as a dependency. How can I proceed from here?

Hi there,

Business Process Sensor is the right approach. The trick is, when configuring a dependency in a group's settings, it must be a sensor that has to be located in a different group, not in the same group.

Here is an article about simulating multiple dependencies with the Business Process sensor: How can I avoid numerous notifications for branch offices?

Kind regards,

Erhard
