After a little brainstorming we came up with the following idea of a new check
type and we would like to get some feedback on the idea.
A "combined" check:
new_check is a sum of other entries, were each entry gets a weight and
you define on what weight we should give the down
Example:
new_check trigger weight 5
entry_1 (ping host1) weight 1
entry_11 (ping host2) weight 2
entry_2 (URL http://www.something.com) weight 4
entry_3 (URL http://www.somethingelse.com) weight 4
This means that
if entry_1 is down AND entry_11 is down, then new_check gets a
result of 3 (sum of 1 and 2) and gets an UP
if entry_1 is down AND entry_2 is down, then new_check gets a
result of 5 (sum of 1 and 4) and gets a DOWN
We also thought about a combined BOOLEAN check
new_check is down IF
(entry_1 = down or entry_2 = down) AND
(entry_2=down or entry_3=down)
Would this help you in your monitoring needs?
