Configuring Device DependenciesThe status polling for a device can be controlled based on its
dependency on some other device. This prevents the unnecessary status
checks made to the dependent nodes. Device dependencies can be configured from both Central and Probe web clients.
For instance, many devices will be connected to a switch. If the
switch goes down, all the devices connected to it will not be
reachable. In this case, it is unnecessary to check the status of the
dependent devices.
To configure the dependency for devices, follow the steps given below:- In the Admin tab, under Configuration, click Quick Configuration Wizard.
- Select Configure Device Dependencies and click Next.
- Select
the category of the device, Router, Switch, Firewall or Server on which
the dependency is to be configured. The devices managed under the
chosen directory is listed. Choose a device and click Next.
Configuring dependencies in individual device
You can also configure dependencies for a single device from the device snapshot page. Here are the steps:
- Go to the device snapshot page.
- Under the Device Details tab, click the link against the property Dependency.
- Select the device on which it is dependent.
OpManager DE stops monitoring the devices if the dependent device is down. Configuring dependencies prevents false alarms.
