I'm doing something to monitor my switches, and I would like to be sure it's not too stupid: I consider my switch as an host, and every ports as a service; The switch is monitored by check_host_alive, and the ports are monitored with check_snmp; Will I be notified only once if the check_host_alive fails, or 25 times (1 for the host, and 24 others for all ports which will fail) ? My first thought was that I will be notified only once, but after digging into the doc, I'm more thinking about 25. The solution seems to be to add dependencies, but i can't see how to setup it; Could someone explain me how to do that, and if considering a switch port as service is useless?
