Hi Matt, thanks for the reply.

my parent tree is as follows:

Opsview > Office Firewall > DC Firewall > DC Switch > XenServers(3) > DC VM
Hosts
Opsview > Office Firewall > DC Firewall > DC Switch > Non-VM Hosts

So what im trying todo is stop services alerting on any DC hosts when the
host below it is unreachable. So if the DC firewall is unreachable, then
dont alert on anything (hosts and services) above that... or if the DC
switch is unreachable, then dont alert above that etc - cool - understand
that.

BUT: The thing is, the DC Firewall is reachable (ping) if the office-DC VPN
is up or down... and so are the hosts (ping checks).. so what i really want
todo is NOT alert on any services above the DC Firewall if the VPN is down.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Simon
