Hi, I'm playing with map status probes for the first time today. I made a map for one of my server racks, then set up a master map with a map status probe that points to this rack map. So far so good.
I decided to edit the map status probe, so I double-clicked it. Instead of opening the probe window, it took me to the rack map. I'm sure there's got to be some way of editing a map status probe, but I can't figure out what it might be. Can anyone give me a hint? OK, on to the next item. Now that I've navigated to the rack map, I'd like a way to get back to the master map. Aha, I can put a map status probe on the rack map that points back to the master map, and then double-click it. This works fine. It's nice to have map navigation tools built into the map. However, later on something in the rack went offline for a few minutes. Now the two map status probes are locked in a deadly embrace - each is red, because the other is red. Everything's green except for the two recursive map status probes. Is there a way to make this work the way I'd like? For instance, if a map status probe queries a map, IM should filter the reply to ignore any map status probes that point to the map that's making the query. (I don't think it's a good idea to ignore ALL map status probes, or you can't easily nest the maps more than two levels deep.) Or could a new type of object be added (a map navigation object)? Or, at the least, a back button as in a web browser? I'm using the non-daemon IM 4.1 on OS X 10.2.8.
